talloc questions - bachelor thesis

[Pavel Březina]

Hello,
I'm working on a bachelor thesis which aims to provide a tutorial and
summary of the best practices for talloc. It is near completion and I
would like to ask you a few questions.

1. When it was released for public use?
2. What other libraries did you consider before choosing to create your
own?
3. What did you miss in those libraries?
4. Which projects use it? I know about Samba, SSSD and nfsim. Are there
any more?
5. Do you have any performance tests that I can reuse?

Thank you. Your help is very appreciated.

Regards,
Pavel Březina.
