-ptmalloc is the original version of the malloc that was later included
-in GNU libc. Under some circumsntaces, notably with pthreads and
-excessive calls to realloc, it performs significantly better than
-FreeBSD malloc. This version is *not* GPL or LGPL:

-
-This is not the latest version: it's older than the one in GNU libc.
-There is a newer version, but it's still marked as "current snapshot".
-It's in /usr/ports/devel/ptmalloc-2/.
-
-See the web site for more details: WWW: http://www.malloc.de/en/
-
-This package comes with no documentation beyond a README, which isn't
-worth installing. It appears that the GNU libc man page malloc(3)
-applies, but it's not included here for copyright reasons. There's
-nothing unusual about it. In particular, the section TUNING in
-FreeBSD malloc(3) does not apply.
-
-This library uses the POSIX pthread_atfork() function which was not
-committed to -CURRENT until 10 December 2004. See PR bin/68841 for
-further details. To build it on older versions, first install this
-patch, which should be transparent.
-
-In addition to the library, the package contains a couple of test
-cases. Theoretically they could be run using the FreeBSD libraries,
-but they call the legacy memalign() function, which is not provided by
-FreeBSD. It may be of interest to fix this issue.
