Re: jemalloc?

It looks like the extra spage usage was fixed by Jason Evans around
March. The Google link provided by Freddie Cash pretty much covers
every info you needed. I can perform further benchmarks if needed. But
I think I'll not do it, given the reluctance on the list. I'm
certainly not the best judge for this level of technical detail.
I can't spot a definite reluctance. Some people are conservative, some people say "why not, if it is good". I think it shows promising numbers, but we will probably not experience the reduced contention because our userland threading is still 1:N.
In any case, we slowly need a formalized benchmark suite to spot regressions and prove that new code does what it advertises. An allocator benchmark is needed for sure as well.
I think that jemalloc will perform better than phkmalloc in almost all cases. However I get the feeling that it is a little bit complicated, but maybe I just don't have the right knowledge about allocators. If nothing breaks I'm for including jemalloc, maybe not as default (I wouldn't see why not), but as runtime switchable allocator (/etc/malloc.type -> jemalloc)
