This makes the internal pointers somewhat random with respect to the associated RAM buffer addresses. Align the buffer to the page size of the machine to help with this. Note that there is a header at the start of the allocated pointer. To avoid returning a pointer which is not aligned to a page boundary, we waste almost an entire page of memory for each allocation.
