All message bodies as sent on the wire are some number of 0 bytes. Currently, we're relying on the hope that the malloc implementation we boil down to is smart enough to have a good-sized 0-buf that can be allocated via CoW, so that no actual allocations need to occur for the message bodies. It might be a good idea to double check this (or similar) is what's happening by creating a static buffer of [0u8; MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE] that would presumably end up in the executable .bss, and making message bodies slices into that static buffer, then comparing their performance and memory overhead.

It might be a good idea to double check this (or similar) is what's happening by creating a static buffer of `[0u8; MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE]` that would presumably end up in the executable `.bss`, and making message bodies slices into that static buffer, then comparing their performance and memory overhead.
