Nothing huge here. The package[0] provides the bindings, JEMallocator (like Mallocator) and JEAlignedAllocator (like AlignedAllocator). All of them use jeallocator[1], which is actually the default implementation of malloc in the FreeBSD system.

In a future update I may add another D alloc which would be specific to each thread. Another allocator, tcmallocd[2] already does this.

Neat. Stupid question, probably, but I don't really know much about jemalloc: Does using the binding yield me significant benefits over just using building blocks the way it's shown under "Sample Assembly" here[1]?
