        If you have both DECC and VAXC available, you are better off
using DECC.  It uses the optimized memory allocation functions for
VAXC, but those are still decades old, and the DECC malloc(), calloc()
and free() are much more efficient.  Lynx is allocating or freeing
something constantly, and the difference in efficiency is noticeable.
