Use stable malloc() allocator to make comparisons more sound

Open dumblob opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Today I came across mimalloc, probably the most "stable" malloc() replacement and think it's wise to use it for all languages to avoid sensitivity to unstable performance behavior in different workloads (benchmarks).

Feel free to use the LD_PRELOAD hack from mimalloc's README for all tests in the Docker image.
