title: When is worst fit in memory allocation useful
body: <p>I'm reading operating system concepts essisentals 8th edition. When the author goes over contiguous memory allocation and worst fit the author states "Allocate the largest hole. Again, we must search the entire list unless it is sorted by size. This strategy produces the largest leftover hole, which may be more useful than the smaller leftover hole from a best-fit approach."</p>
  
  <p>So my question, when is leaving the biggiest leftover hole a better approach?</p>
