Subject: GNUmalloc for XFree86
Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk


I've seen several discussions on this list regarding the large memory 
requirements of XFree86 when using the system malloc, and that GNUmalloc
might be a solution.

I'm assuming people have tried using GNUmalloc - does anyone have any stats
on how much of a benefit it provides ?

If it's tangible, I might go fetch the X sources and rebuld (any pitfalls
to watch for here?)

tnx in advance
