Just to take away the "memory_pools on/off" configuration directive as it 
does not make much sense to have this direcive. The configure 
--disable-mempools directive is sufficient and serves a real purpose.
The main reason why the configuration directive exists is to initially 
make it easier to proof that the use of memory pools do make a benefit. 
This is already well proven. In fact the configuration directive probably 
should had gone away even before the first STABLE release with memory 
pools support, remaining only as a configure --disable-mempools directive.
The --disable-mempools configure directive is still needed, but for other 
reasons (debugging).
