  I'm about to check in (after testing on the build farm) a modified
version of the jemalloc() replacement for the system malloc. My initial
testing shows it reduces bloat considerably, while increasing
performance. Mozilla and Abode are using it to, so it seemed a good
idea. Testing shows it does look as good as promised. As I'm about to do
a port to a new 266Mhz ARM system with only 64M, I figured this would
come in handy.
