Description

Hi, wondering if this is a long-term commitment for the mimalloc team to release benchmarking results [1] periodically (say, once or twice a year)?

[1] That is, the charts and analysis in the current README.md, where mimalloc, tcmalloc, jemalloc, etc. are put to test under various benchmarking cases.

Further, is this a long-term project that will be maintained, or a one-off research project? (given its short history since release).
