   Prepare Libevent to use a large number of timeouts with the same duration.

   Libevent's default scheduling algorithm is optimized for having a large
   number of timeouts with their durations more or less randomly distributed.
   If you have a large number of timeouts that all have the same duration (for
   example, if you have a large number of connections that all have a
   10-second timeout), then you can improve Libevent's performance by telling
   Libevent about it.

   To do this, call this function with the common duration.  It will return a
   pointer to a different, opaque timeout value.  (Don't depend on its actual
   contents!)  When you use this timeout value in event_add(), Libevent will
   schedule the event more efficiently.

   (This optimization probably will not be worthwhile until you have thousands
   or tens of thousands of events with the same timeout.)

 Override the functions that Libevent uses for memory management.

 Usually, Libevent uses the standard libc functions malloc, realloc, and
 free to allocate memory.  Passing replacements for those functions to
 event_set_mem_functions() overrides this behavior.  To restore the default
 behavior, pass NULLs as the arguments to this function.

 Note that all memory returned from Libevent will be allocated by the
 replacement functions rather than by malloc() and realloc().  Thus, if you
 have replaced those functions, it will not be appropriate to free() memory
 that you get from Libevent.  Instead, you must use the free_fn replacement
 that you provided.
