Hi,
I just wanted to know, if unloading & re-loading all data from memory will
cause something like memory defragmentation ?
What do You think about this example pseudo-program :

main() {
  1) Allocating some memory for few small arrays.
  2) Loading data to memory
  In loop  {
    3) Allocating many small buffers
    4) deallocating all memory from 3)
  }
  --- now memory is now probably fragmented ---
defragmentation :
  5)  Deleting all data from 2)
  6)  Re-loading all data
}

FINAL QUESTION :
I think, that all memory (above arrays allocated in 1) ) will be now totally
defragmentate, right ???

Thanks
