SLOB replaces the SLAB allocator with a drastically simpler
- allocator. SLOB is more space efficient that SLAB but does not
+ 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
