But I agree with Alastair, I doubt you get any performance improvement using a custom allocator. The system allocator is pretty good for general purpose applications (like Firefox)

What about Safari and Chrome using tcmalloc instead of the default allocator? Here's a thread from the Chromium mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/60f5b665c9c...
