I've used Guard Malloc a lot, and it is indeed both very helpful and
very slow.  I've noticed a few things: having lots (I'm talking at least
2-4 GB) of physical RAM helps a lot, rebooting before a session also
helps a lot (so there's lots of physical memory free).  Lastly, it's way
faster on the Intel iMac for some reason.
