2009-06-01Add custom memory allocator to MinGW and MacOS buildsLibravatar Marius Storm-Olsen1-0/+136
The standard allocator on Windows is pretty bad prior to Windows Vista, and nedmalloc is better than the modified dlmalloc provided with newer versions of the MinGW libc. NedMalloc stats in Git ---------------------- All results are the best result out of 3 runs. The benchmarks have been done on different hardware, so the repack times are not comparable. These benchmarks are all based on 'git repack -adf' on the Linux kernel.
