Description:	Because of cpu aliasing problems, there are a lot of problems
		with stalled pipelines. A famous problem is at:
		http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8547778/why-is-one-loop-so-much-slower-than-two-loops
		This library tries to intercept the memory allocations to skew
		the allocations to different offsets, so the performance penalty
		to disappear.
		Applications that process a lot of data in big memory
		allocations will benefit from this application without
		recompiling the sources (if available).

How it works:	cpublaster is a shared object that hooks memory allocation
		functions and add an small offset to them.
		Fine tuning can be done using environment variables
		described below.

Examples:
		0. Output debug stuff in a log file (for debugging):
		export CPUBLASTER_VERBOSE=999
		export CPUBLASTER_LOG="xxx.log"
		your_program_here

		1. Force bind to 127.0.0.1, port 33, verbose operations:
		export CPUBLASTER_VERBOSE=999
		export CPUBLASTER_LOG="xxx.log"
		export CPUBLASTER_MINIM_ALLOCATION=128
		export CPUBLASTER_INCREMENT=128
		your_program_here


Installation:
		- ./configure
		- make
		- make install
