I think they missed a lot of boats.  Its a pretty superficial
treatment of memory allocation.  

The cites here

http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/b/Bonwick:Jeff.html

and also referenced

http://www.os-help.org/slab_allocators-542520-4686-a.html

treat the issue exhaustively, from userspace all the way down to
scalability on SMP systems and cache-friendliness.  I think the people
who did the paper you identified didn't do enough homework ahead of
time.
