Actually, jemalloc is the best I could find for my application, the
glibc default one give me lots of holes during the long running of my
application no matter how I tweak the parameters for the memory
allocator and jemalloc fits there nicely. I am in the process of
stripping down the library but if the library itself could give some
flags to help out will be better.
