Some Observations
ä The overhead to keep track of small holes will
be substantially larger than the hole itself.
ä The best-fit is slower than the first-fit because it
must search the entire list.
ä The best-fit tends to fill up memory with tiny
useless holes.
ä The first-fit generates larger holes on average
ä Simulation have shown that the first-fit and the
best-fit give better results, with the first-fit
being faster.
ä To speed up these algorithms, we can maintain
separate lists for processes and holes
ä To make the best-fit faster, we can maintain the
hole list by size.
