In some news items I read recently I heard of a Gnu Malloc that was supposed to improve performance of Malloc intensive programs significantly. We tried it with some X Toolkit programs that are real intense and saw no significant difference. We are running on a Sun SparcStation. Are Sun's malloc routines already optimized so well that Gnu's don't help? Or are we doing something wrong? Anyone else tried this? The release we have was written May 1989 by Mike Haertel.
