this also removes two key design features:
- memory is free:d (as Dimitry already pointed out)
- a memory pool is associated to every module, so that all allocations 
for a specific module are free:d when the module is unloaded

If using the Heap* functions gives such a significant speed boost it may
make sense to create a heap with HeapCreate() per module and use that.
When a module is unloaded you can just call HeapDestroy() to get rid of
the memory allocated for that module.
