Heh! Yes indeed, memory fragmentation management is an interesting
academic exercise. It's a highly mathematical discipline, much like
database indexing, and one that generates no small number of
professional academic treatises. Here's an example:

Some crazy stuff there, with papers reaching back to the 60s. And your
point is pretty well taken, it's probably dealt with well enough by the
OS that we don't have to worry about it, with the exception of making
sure we release memory in a timely fashion in long-running jobs.
