Note that fastmm is not always faster. For several of my work apps, it was slower.

(probably because the rate determining step as far as memory allocation goes in those apps were manually tuned. Possibly hitting some fastmm worst case)

Note that this is not really a problem of fastmm, just be careful if you tuned your app for memory management.

The punchline of this post: don't forget to keep measuring, and don't accept "fast" without any cautions.
