Question: why a pool for each template? #1

Closed mathvav closed 8 years ago

Why do you use a worker pool for bytes.Buffers that are template-specific (vs. a global pool)? Is it for getting similar sized buffers each time, or is there another reason?

It is for getting similar sized buffers each time. This reduces memory waste if multiple templates with different sizes are in concurrent use.
