<p>
        Using Pools gives you more control over how memory is used in your program.
        For example, you could have a situation where you want to allocate a bunch
        of small objects at one point, and then reach a point in your program where
        none of them are needed any more. Using pool interfaces, you can choose to
        run their destructors or just drop them off into oblivion; the pool interface
        will guarantee that there are no system memory leaks.
      </p>

      </h6>
<p>
        Pools are generally used when there is a lot of allocation and deallocation
        of small objects. Another common usage is the situation above, where many
        objects may be dropped out of memory.
      </p>
<p>
        In general, use Pools when you need a more efficient way to do unusual memory
        control.
