Unfortunately, the global operator new technique doesn't work (on Linux and
Windows). When you use the WebKit as a shared library for an application it
will customizes the application's new/delete also. This can lead to weird
problems. (e.g. crash) The FastAllocBase solution provides a safety way to
customize new/delete through locally in the classes, not by the global way. So,
we'll have full allocation control over the classes.

I'm going to land the patch now, thanks for the review. :)
