Why would they argue if they can just use tcmalloc which does just that? It's used in web-browsers, too, BTW.

And the fact that web-browsers are using muti-process model for security which increases memory consumption about 2x-3x is just the fact of life now, too…

Agreed. I work mostly with PostgreSQL - our palloc() is a heirachical memory allocator, not dissimilar to Samba's talloc. So yes I agree - you can just use your own allocator.
