* modified perf/heap.c so that it optionally creates a partially defined bytes every N bytes
* created perf/heap_pdb4.vgperf calling heap 4 (so one byte on 4 is PDB in what heap allocates).
before/after pool alloc, here are the performances on a ppc64. So, it looks like
pool alloc also significantly improves the speed of PDB handling.
