TCMalloc vs JEMalloc?

Greetings,

I was fooling around with setting up TS metrics gathering/graphing
plugins for Munin and ran across the TS memory_profile plugin page in
the documentation.  I'm wondering if anyone's done any
profiling/performance testing of TS comparing TCMalloc vs JEMalloc? 
I've been using TCMalloc so far but seeing this plugin and documentation
made me wonder if JEMalloc was somehow better or faster or ????  Anyone
made any comparisons?


Many thanks!

I don’t know of anyone that has done a comparison.  My guess is that they should be similar in performance.

In the ATS Community most people run with jemalloc.
