rtree_node_init spinlocks the node, allocates, and then sets the node. This is under heavy contention at the top of the tree if many threads start to allocate at the same time. Instead, take a per-rtree sleeping mutex to reduce spinning. Tested both pthreads and osx OSSpinLock, and both reduce spinning adequately Previous benchmark time: ./ttest1 500 100 ~15s New benchmark time: ./ttest1 500 100 .57s
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://jemalloc.net/
