Hi, Please take a look into the proposed new Memory Manager for PHP:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/777 The patch provides visible performance improvement on real life apps (tested on Linux 32 and 64 bit). It's based on ideas mainly borrowed from jemalloc and tcmalloc. I hope, the patch must implement all the features of previous memory manager except for "overridable storage", but I might miss something. It would be great if experienced people could analyze the sources and give their opinion. Thanks. Dmitry.
