I used GCC and no special allocator. To be specific:
G++ 4.3.3 versus Sun's HotSpot VM, Java 1.6.0_16
on a i686 Linux box running in 32bit mode.

alloc.cpp:
   int main()
   {
      const long count = 10000000;
      int** pp = new int*[count];
      for (long i=0; i<count; ++i) {

alloc.java:
   class alloc {
      static class intref {
         public int value;
         public intref(int v) { value = v; }

      public static void main(String[] args) {
