Re: [Mono-dev] tcmalloc
You can test it using LD_PRELOAD just fine. Since most of the allocations use mmap() anyway (so reclamation is possible) it really isn't used enough to cause contention between cores. -- Christian On Oct 14, 2009, at 3:47 AM, pablosantosl...@terra.es wrote: Very interesting Christian. Wouldn't it be worth to have it available as a compilation switch or something? Maybe performance varies depending on the test.
