SLOB replaces the SLAB allocator with a drastically simpler
allocator. SLOB is more space efficient than SLAB but does not
scale well (single lock for all operations) and is also highly
susceptible to fragmentation. SLUB can accomplish a higher object
density. It is usually better to use SLUB instead of SLOB.
SLOB replaces the stock allocator with a drastically simpler
allocator. SLOB is generally more space efficient but
does not perform as well on large systems.
