-ECMA data elements are allocated in pools (pools are allocated on heap)
-Chunk size of the pool is 8 bytes (reduces fragmentation).
+These pointers are 8 byte aligned 16 bit long pointers which can address 512 Kb of
+memory which is also the maximum size of the JerryScript heap. To support even more
+memory the size of compressed pointers can be extended to 32 bit to cover the entire
+address space of a 32 bit system by passing "--cpointer_32_bit on" to the build
+system. These "uncompressed pointers" increases the memory consumption by around 20%.
