In [[computer programming]], an '''object pool''' is a construct of objects which can be used concurrently. Typically, a client object which requires resources which are managed by the object pool will request an object from the pool and perform operations on the returned object. Object pooling offers a significant performance boost and is most efficient in situations where the cost of initializing a class instance is high and the amount of instantiations of a particular class is also frequent.
