Thanks. I wasn't familiar with MAP_NOSYNC since I am using Linux, which doesn't have it. In the mmap-based implementation, it looks like you have to implement malloc-like logic yourself, including thread-safety and defragmentation. Does the mmap-based storage have some advantage to normal malloc() implementations (e.g. glibc, jemalloc, TCMalloc) due to its domain-specific knowledge?
