+The format of entries on the scope stack has been changed, resulting in a
+reduction of memory usage of about 10%. In particular, the memory used by

+
+Memory allocation for pointer tables has been changed. Previously
+C<Perl_ptr_table_store> allocated memory from the same arena system as C<SV>
+bodies and C<HE>s, with freed memory remaining bound to those arenas until
+interpreter exit. Now it allocates memory from arenas private to the specific
+pointer table, and that memory is returned to the system when
+C<Perl_ptr_table_free> is called. Additionally, allocation and release are both
+less CPU intensive.
