How does this compare to sync.Pool? about bpool HOT 2 OPEN

sync.Pool automatically GC's objects, which may not be what you want.

I wrote a short piece on the differences: http://blog.questionable.services/article/using-buffer-pools-with-go/#postscript

There are also a number of issues about sync.Pool that describe its limitations:

• golang/go#23216
• golang/go#23199
• golang/go#18638

from bpool.

Thank you, these links were very helpful. Perhaps you should add them to the readme.

The automatic garbage collection of sync.Pool seems like it would kind of defeat the purpose of having a pool to prevent GC. I'll have to study it more.
