Description

https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc was archived. We should investigate actively maintained alternatives, like:
- [tcmalloc (gperftools)](https://gperftools.github.io/gperftools/tcmalloc.html): widely deployed, actively maintained
- [tcmalloc (google)](https://github.com/google/tcmalloc): newer fork of tcmalloc by Google with per-CPU caches
- [mimalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc): by Microsoft; [benchmarks](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc#performance)
