I would however like some more info on the jemalloc function a bit of googling has pretty much linked me back to this post.

It's the first time I can open hundreds of tabs in Firefox with JavaScript, flash, images and plugins without it slowing down Firefox and it keeps the memory level very reasonable. 175MB right now with 43 tabs(with Digg and Google Reader being the 'fattest'). It even seems that Firefox uses less memory and cpu than Opera 9.5 Beta. The only thing that makes Opera feel faster now is the GUI which never freezes or stutters. Really, thank you for all your hard work This is really great.

We got a 5-10% speed win on things like our page load tests. On Windows we see 20%-40% memory savings after running for a long time. We made realloc a lot faster on Windows so tests that do string concats got up to 70x faster :) I'll try to post a full breakdown of the numbers on various tests in the not-too-distant-future.

Sorry to keep asking when you're obviously very busy.... do you have any numbers on overall perf, memory, fragmentation improvements that jemalloc has provided. Even a rough ballpark? Cool!
