gperftools 2.4rc is out!
Here are changes since 2.3:
* enabled aggressive decommit option by default. It was found to
significantly improve memory fragmentation with negligible impact on
performance. (Thanks to investigation work performed by Adhemerval
Zanella)
* added ./configure flags for tcmalloc pagesize and tcmalloc
allocation alignment. Larger page sizes have been reported to
improve performance occasionally. (Patch by Raphael Moreira Zinsly)
* sped-up hot-path of malloc/free. By about 5% on static library and
about 10% on shared library. Mainly due to more efficient checking
of malloc hooks.
* improved stacktrace capturing in cpu profiler (due to issue found by
Arun Sharma). As part of that issue pprof's handling of cpu profiles
was also improved.
