MS has released its mimalloc [1] under BSD license as a drop-in replacement for malloc. It is said to have excellent performance. It's also cross-platform. Can it be useful for LibreOffice (on supported platforms)? What is required to actually make LibreOffice use it, and how to test possible performance effect?
havent we just removed our custom SLAB allocator recently because it wasn't worth the maintenance effort?
we have --with-alloc configure flags but setting that to anything custom like tcmalloc or jemalloc was removed in 494bdd3dc32287cc01ea4e0d81438a9266425726 because it had been broken since 2011 and nobody noticed.
