Jemalloc 4.0 Released

  • Apparently a bug we saw, very rarely, with Redis, where there were strange crashes on OOM, is fixed. This release allows us to just pass parameters with configure in order to obtain a "24 bytes" tiny class, which was introduced recently with Redis unstable. It's cool that jemalloc is actively developed with care.

  • Are there plans afoot to upgrade to this in Firefox? It'd be interesting to see how much effect these improvements have on Firefox [1], which has been gaining weight for the last 3 years...
