If jemalloc would be its own package, we would probably use that for 
nfs-ganesha too. Currently glibc/malloc is used, but jemalloc is well 
tested by the nfs-ganesha community and could have some benefits. I have 
not checked the sources of jemalloc, so I can not say if I would be 
a suitable maintainer for it.
