• Moritz Maxeiner (7/18) Mar 03 2017 Neat. Stupid question, probably, but I don't really know much

JEMallocator (like Mallocator) and JEAlignedAllocator (like 
AlignedAllocator). All of them use jeallocator[1], which is 
actually the default implementation of malloc in the FreeBSD 
system.

In a future update I may add another D alloc which would be 
specific to each thread. Another allocator, tcmallocd[2] already 
does this.

Neat. Stupid question, probably, but I don't really know much 
about jemalloc: Does using the binding yield me significant 
benefits over just using building blocks the way it's shown under 
"Sample Assembly" here[1]?
