Doesn't this techically happen with most of the modern allocators? They do a lot of work to avoid having to request new memory from the kernel as much as possible.
last time i checked, the glibc allocator doesnt ask the OS that often for new heap memory.
Like, every ~thousand malloc calls invoked (s)brk and that was it.
