jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes

fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.  jemalloc first came

into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its

way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior.  In 2010

jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features

such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks.  Modern jemalloc

releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility

remains critical.  Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc

among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and

eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real

world applications.
