Someone in another space shared mimalloc, which is a "drop-in replacement for memalloc." Could be useful for high-performance platforms? https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc
Yep, or tcmalloc
Also, the compiler uses mimalloc
oh neat, I wondered if it might!
yeah, we benchmarked them all on the compiler a while back. None of them made much of a difference, but mimalloc was slightly ahead.
