My experience with the two is JEmalloc has less issues long term bloating memory heaps, with comparable performance. But my reason to support JEmalloc is purely a releng driven thing, reducing BR's and R's is always preferable. My two-bits, but it would be nice to have a test suite to measure the two. But that requires effort and time, which are always low supply. I'd say give the maintainer time to chime in, otherwise make it happen after reasonable time-out. -- -Jon Disnard -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
