Someone I can't stand said this about FreeBSD.  Though I know C, I don't 
know anything about this and would love to respond. My first thought was 
'contigmalloc' but I'm not sure it's equivalent.
[QUOTE]The kernel is really lacking some features. They need a method to 
set precise type of memory cache but BSD doesn't provide way to specify 
memory cache.

For that reason MS has the beautiful 
MmAllocateContigousMemorySpecifyCache()[/QUOTE]
