Where are you running on where malloc and calloc were locking up a thread and killing the CPU? On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 2:49 PM, Ali Pey <alipey@gmail.com> wrote:
We haven't measured the effect in Production yet, but in the lab, it made a big difference.
The main problem that tcmalloc fixed for us was the threads locking on malloc and calloc and killing the CPU. I strongly recommend tcmalloc. In low traffic, it won't make a big difference, but in high traffic, you definitely need tcmalloc.
I will provide an update when I have better measurement from our production servers.

We make fairly heavy use of memory pools, which probably reduce malloc. I suspect that using them is of little benefit but would be interested to hear to the contrary.

Great idea. Do you have any evidence whether other malloc libs (tcmalloc, jemalloc) gives better performance over glibc ones?

The webpage for TCMalloc states:
You can use tcmalloc in applications you didn't compile yourself, by using LD_PRELOAD:
$ LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so" blahblah

Hello,
Is there a way to switch to TCMalloc without recompiling freeswitch?
Can someone please point me to (or provide) some instructions? (Preferably for Centos 6)
