Please add the jemalloc allocator into the Gentoo repository. From its homepage: "jemalloc is a general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation." Going to add the ebuild plus a patch to remove its preset optimizations.

Well, latest versions can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/gekis-playground/source/browse/#svn/trunk/dev-libs/jemalloc
Mozilla team will handle, I am just about finished with some testing, soon as I finish we will add to the tree.
Thanks for your patients, I have finally landed in the tree.
Is there any reason not to land version 2.1.0? The ABI changed from 1.0.x to 2.x, which would require a recompile. But not from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0 AFAICT from library version '.so.1'.

I will continue to work to get 2.1.x in the tree just gonna have to be a bit patient and wait for me to finish my local regression testing.
