We executed the benchmark suite multiple times, and results were consistent. It was way more stable than the same execution on a PC with multiple programs. Anyway, the maintainers of glibc performed the same checks and confirmed our measurements.

Thumbs up with reaching out to upstream to mainline it.

Did you talk to musl team as well?

Not yet. Working with each open-source demanded a lot of effort, so we were hoping that integrating it into a few dominant libraries will attract the attention of the rest. We will happily assist them if they need/want our help.

The musl mailing list is very active, and communication with the maintainers is generally effortless. It would be interesting to see how this plays out. They are also in the process of rewriting their malloc implementation.

Thank you for your work!

And musl is just working in merging its new mallocng.
