Gnash surely does allocations from multiple threads at the same time,
if that's the meaning of "concurrent allocation".
The key word in the comment is "extensive." (Obviously Firefox allocates
memory in several threads.) There is apparently a point where the
amount of allocations in separate threads makes it worthwhile to use
multiple arenas. The question then is where Gnash is in that spectrum.
