Hi guys,

Google is providing an improved malloc implementation that is supposed 
to boost performance significantly in comparison to the glibc version of 
malloc. It should be great to add it directly (tcmalloc_minimal which 
does not include heap profiler and checker) in the mysql-server-5.x package

What's your opinion.

FYI see http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=25244 and 
http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/tcmalloc.html

Regards.
