There's a very interesting comparison between libumem (mtmalloc) and Hoard at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-d... (HN link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3755621). How do you view this class of allocators to tcmalloc, jemalloc, ptmalloc3, etc., specially in the concurrent multi-cpu scenario?

Here's what I'll be reading on allocators tonight, any further suggestions (following all the links in comments is part of the deal)?
