* now '-b' option is a tuning way, not a limit. item size that smaller than
'-b' value use fast freelist alloc, otherwise, use system 'malloc' instead.
Many thanks to Davies Liu <davie...@gmail.com> for patches and ideas.

Before version 1.1.x, a fixed size buffer is
used, but now we have removed this limit. We don't think 'malloc' is
fast enough, so we use a freelist to cache the malloced memory, the
buffer block which is added to the free list is fixed size indicated
by '-b'.

Is data size unlimited now?
