And that's why AmigaOS allowed a MEMF_REVERSE option in the call to the memory allocator ( http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD_2.1/Includes_and_Autodo... )

Sometime in 95 or 96 recall making a very very simple OS patch that would force all allocations > X size ( 1KB or something like that ) to use MEMF_REVERSE and that made wonders to reduce memory fragmentation :)
