For most of us, programming (or more generally – software development) is all the life is about.
IT Hares are not different. And they have more than just quite a few bits to share about programming…

Quote:
if you DO want to get performance from changing mallocs, make sure to test them with your own app
Another Quote:
in our humble opinion, overall winner so far (by a nose) is jemalloc.
