Lots of people have asked me where they can get this article:
The Slab Allocator: An Object-Caching Kernel Memory Allocator Jeff Bonwick (Sun Microsystems). Presented at: USENIX Summer 1994 Technical Conference
Most university libraries supporting a nearby computer science department will carry the "Proceedings of the USENIX Technical Conference". That's where I got my copy.
