Actually, competitive MySQL benchmarking against Linux seems to illustrate 
that jemalloc is dramatically more scalable than the native glibc malloc, and 
comparable with the google malloc.  I have to admit, however, that I do wish 
we'd retained an easy switch to let us go back and forth between phkmalloc and 
jemalloc for comparison purposes.
