The ndr token code keeps a temporary store of tokens which are referred to a small number of times (often once) before being discarded. The access patterns are somewhat stack-like, with recently placed tokens being accessed most often. The old code kept these tokens in a linked list, which we replace with a self-resizing array. This keeps everything roughly the same in big-O terms, but makes it all faster in practice by vastly reducing the amount of tallocing and pointer-chasing. The peak memory use is strictly reduced. On a 64 bit machine each core token struct fits in 16 bytes (after padding) while the two pointers used by the DLIST add another 16 bytes, so the overall list allocation is the same as the peak 2n array allocation -- except in the list case it is dwarfed by the talloc and malloc metadata overhead. Before settling on the resized arrays, we tried red-black trees, which are bound to be better for large ndr structures. As it happens, we don't deal with large structures (the size of replication clumps is limited to 400 objects) and the asymptotic benefits of the trees are not realised in practice. With luck you should find graphs comparing the performance of these various techniques at: https://www.samba.org/~dbagnall/perf-tests/ndr-token/ This necessarily breaks the ABI because the linked list implementation was publicly exposed.
