    Marginal performance hack: remove the loop that used to be needed to · 39a333aa

    look through a freelist for a chunk of adequate size.  For a long time
    now, all elements of a given freelist have been exactly the same
    allocated size, so we don't need a loop.  Since the loop never iterated
    more than once, you'd think this wouldn't matter much, but it makes a
    noticeable savings in a simple test --- perhaps because the compiler
    isn't optimizing on a mistaken assumption that the loop would repeat.
    AllocSetAlloc is called often enough that saving even a couple of
    instructions is worthwhile.
