What is the purpose of adding jemalloc to WebKit?  What benefits does it bring?

We should not be adding an additional memory allocator to the WebKit source
tree.  We can evaluate whether jemalloc would perform better than our custom
TCMalloc, and if it does we can consider replacing TCMalloc with it.  If it
doesn't, I see no reason to add it to our tree, and many reasons not to.
