By default, jemalloc replaces the platform allocator. This results in a performance improvement for memory allocation in C along with reduced fragmentation. Even on platforms like FreeBSD where jemalloc is the system allocator, this eliminates the inevitable external fragmentation and performance hit caused by using two general purpose allocators.
