Looks like the main gem here is mimalloc? Love to know more about that. Good places to look?


https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc

we're using it in feldera and it's been giving us (slightly) better performance than jemalloc which is what we've used before mimalloc


Apologies, I did my first post on my phone, so was rather quick. I had found the repository and it is a good read. What I'd love to see is a comprehensive dive on the different options and a good general discussion on when each is superior.

I realize, of course, that this could just be overall optimal. Feels more likely that the allocation patterns of the application using it will impact which is the better allocator?
