Not for me. phkmalloc has the nice propery of being tight on space
usage, which is important in some area. It could be done better, but
most applications with very special performance needs have specialised
mallocs anyway, so I don't care that much.


It would be nice to have it in base, though, and to enable the users to choose between the implementations using mechanisms such as libmap.conf (BTW, do we want that?). I suppose there were reasons not to walk this path and since I'm very new to DragonFly I'd be more than happy to learn them.
