Tom Lane 6755558b92 Improve aset.c's space management in contexts with small maxBlockSize.
The previous coding would allow requests up to half of maxBlockSize to be
treated as "chunks", but when that actually did happen, we'd waste nearly
half of the space in the malloc block containing the chunk, if no smaller
requests came along to fill it.  Avoid this scenario by limiting the
maximum size of a chunk to 1/8th maxBlockSize, so that we can waste no more
than 1/8th of the allocated space.  This will not change the behavior at
all for the default context size parameters (with large maxBlockSize),
but it will change the behavior when using ALLOCSET_SMALL_MAXSIZE.

In particular, there's no longer a need for spell.c to be overly concerned
about the request size parameters it uses, so remove a rather unhelpful
comment about that.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
