more speed with with new malloc
by Jake on Wed 27th Feb 2002 12:53 UTC

Work has been done on implementing a malloc-replacement, as the glibc one has quite some hooks which make it slower than necessary.

If you configure kdelibs with --enable-fast-malloc=full
you get both startup and runtime improvements.
