BestFit tends to be slow, and, if allocations are of dynamic size tends to lead to having lots of very small spaces left free. For instance, if there are a 10 byte, 20 byte or 30 byte region free and you are trying to allocate "9" bytes, you will use the 10 byte region leaving 1 byte, 20 byte and 30 bytes free. The 1 byte region is unlikely to be allocated. |
