Linux uses ptmalloc2 as its memory allocator, an extremely efficient implementation whose performance under a heavily loaded multithreaded system is impressive. FreeBSD does not. You can get ptmalloc2 from http://www.nedprod.com/programs/Win32/ptmalloc2/. It would be nice if FreeBSD were to adopt this allocator as the system default (it has a BSD type license). Cheers, Niall
