If the blocks are all roughly the same size, heap fragmentation is not a
problem. It takes a somewhat pathological pattern to produce significant
fragmentation. For example, a mix of very large blocks, rather large
blocks, and small blocks can produce a heap in which you repeatedly create
holes that are too small for the large blocks.

Personally, I'd be tempted to do the latter until and unless there is some
indication that you have a problem...
