I used object pooling as a technique to increase performance on some of the tools I wrote in my previous role. These were protocol analysis tools, used for monitoring network links, and it was an order of magnitude increase in performance by pooling most objects, and reducing the work of the GC. For performance critical code in a managed language, it made an astonishing difference, at least in my use case.
