In Tango, use GC.sizeOf to tell you the size of the block reserved for the pointer in question, and GC.reserve to pre-allocate a chunk of memory if you have an idea of the high-water mark if your app. GC.reserve is a relatively new addition and can speed up an app tremendously in some cases.

Can't wait for 0.99.5 then ;)  (as you know I'm currently allocating large chunks of memory and then deleting them to fake a reserve operation)
