Description

Offers a memory allocator that programs can use instead of the default system allocator. Its job is to manage many small and large memory requests efficiently, which can improve performance in some applications.

Regular desktop users normally install it only because another program depends on it. Developers may choose it deliberately when testing memory-heavy software or tuning allocation behavior.
