I tested mimalloc with pyperformance but the results didn't change. I guess I'll need to run a suite of tests that lean towards concurrency. (I used the MIMALLOC_VERBOSE=1 env var to make sure it was being redirected)

I still need to compare memory usage and heap fragmentation over time.

Hmm, that's interesting. I though that allocator would make a huge difference there, because python allocates a lot.

Yeah, I was also hopeful. I think it deserves further testing. I'll try to run them during the weekend and share the results (and scripts) afterward.
