Tick Tock, malloc Needs a Clock

[@jacobschmidt]

First! Ha! 5 years later and can still claim it.

[@trejohnson7677]

Well, under the apparent laws of thermodynamics, you'll be able to make this particular claim ad infinitum.

Just didnt understand why the dirty pages freed by application is not purged by OS directly

[@hainingmo8977]

The allocator (jemalloc in this case) would likely not return the pages freed by application immediately to Kernel so that it can recycle them for subsequent malloc() calls.
