Question: what's the idea behind "m_empties" in various places? it looks like that instead of releasing memory you keep track of it and once done then to release everything (!?)

Well, when you have items that you would otherwise call free() and malloc() (or delete and new) on a lot, such as buffers, it's sometimes preferable to keep them around for reuse rather than having to modify the heap.
