Ideally we would use the mmap allocator. But I wouldn’t do that if it causes a space usage regression, for example if we allocate a lot of small vectors. -Filip

Hi, WebKittens,
IIRC, bmalloc uses mmap based page allocator for internal memory use. For example, bmalloc::Vector uses it instead of calling malloc. But recent changes start using std::vector, which means it uses std malloc under the hood.
So my question is, if we want some internal memory allocation in bmalloc, shoud we use std::malloc? Or should we use mmap based allocator?
