Overview
Comment:A much simpler fix is to simply change MEMSYS5 so that it takes any free block of the appropriate size (the first on the list of free blocks) rather than searching for the one with the smallest address. This is also faster than using the min-heap algorithm. Need to research to verify that the allocator still satisfies the Robson proof, however.

The MEMSYS5 algorithm does not have to return the block with the lowest address. Any block of the appropriate size will do. Use the first block found on the freelist for the appropriate size for a performance improvement. (check-in: 12e612e8e7 user: drh tags: trunk)
