From the web page:

"Hoard is a fast, scalable and memory-efficient allocator for
multiprocessors. Hoard solves the heap contention problem caused when
multiple threads call dynamic memory allocation functions like malloc() and
free() (or new and delete). Hoard can dramatically improve the performance
of multithreaded programs running on multiprocessors."

It doesn't sound like it would help much under the current FreeBSD pthread
implementation, because userland threads shouldn't suffer from
multiprocessor contention.

Later,
scott
