These areas seem to be fully used (allocated size is 4kB). The sole optimization to be expected is grouping these areas. This implies their management at the module level. Is it really needed to avoid many single areas ? Is it possible to use resize_area() for the job ?

The address space allocator is pretty bad in Haiku (and BeOS, too) - while this will probably changed at some point in the future, grouping this area to a large one is very beneficial.
