Search the mailing archives for freebsd-current. There's been a lot of discussion around jemalloc vs phkmalloc, along with a lot benchmarks or both. I believe the main threads were from earlier in the year, just prior to jemalloc entering the -current tree. Here's a good place to start: http://www.google.ca/search?num=30&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&newwindow=1&q=site%3Afreebsd.org++jemalloc+phkmalloc&btnG=Search -- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED]
