Probably but ensure that when you configure Perl not to use the Perl's
malloc (which derived from the BSD one if I remember well).

phk 95/09/16 02:28:15

  Modified: lib/libc/stdlib Makefile.inc malloc.3 malloc.c
  Removed: lib/libc/stdlib free.3 realloc.3
  Log:
  ``phkmalloc''
  Performance is comparable to gnumalloc if you have sufficient RAM, and
  it screams around it if you don't.
  Compiled with "EXTRA_SANITY" until further notice.
  see malloc.3 for more details.

It was enhanced shortly after.

phk 95/10/08 11:44:21

  Modified: lib/libc/stdlib malloc.3 malloc.c
  Log:
  phkmalloc/2
  "zero' and 'junk' options to help find and diagnose malloc abuse.
  EXTRA_SANITY defaults "junk" to on.
  Don't dump the internal state, unless EXTRA_SANITY.
  General code cleanup.
  Error messages cleaned up a bit, more checking earlier.
  EXTRA_SANITY is default at this time (just in case).
  Performance (without EXTRA_SANITY) is better, beats gnumalloc in
  both time & space most of the time:
