Sometimes not having to deallocate the memory, as the monotonic buffer resource does, is still not enough for performance. A special technique called winking out can help here. Winking out objects means that they're not only not deallocated one by one, but their constructors aren't called too. The objects simply evaporate, saving time that would normally be spent calling destructors for each object and their members (and their members...) in the arena.

NOTE: This is an advanced topic. Be careful when using this technique, and only use it if the possible gain is worth it.

This technique can save your precious CPU cycles, but it's not always possible to use it. Avoid winking out memory if your objects handle resources other than memory. Otherwise, you will get resource leaks. The same goes if you depend on any side effects the destructors of your objects would have.

Let's now see winking out in action:
