+# bytebufferpool
+
+An implementation of a pool of byte buffers with anti-memory-waste protection.
+
+The pool may waste limited amount of memory due to fragmentation.
+This amount equals to the maximum total size of the byte buffers
+in concurrent use.
+
+# Benchmark results
+Currently bytebufferpool is fastest and most effective buffer pool written in Go.
+
+You can find results [here](https://omgnull.github.io/go-benchmark/buffer/).
