Different malloc (Memory Allocator) for greater performance? (Linux Build Request)

Sirbucket commented 3 years ago

Implement a different libmalloc for greater performance (Mimalloc, Hoard, etc.) tcmalloc is years outdated and slow.

[x] None of the open or closed issues document this idea.
[x] This is a new idea, not a bug.
[x] This idea does not seriously affect game balance.
[x] This is obviously an improvement, not something that people commonly disagree on.
[x] This is not an idea for new game content (e.g. new weapons, maps, sounds).

[x] This idea is for the code of the game, not for textures, sounds, or other resources.
[ ] This idea has been implemented in vanilla TF2.
[ ] There is proof that this idea is well liked (e.g. a history of use of a similar mod in a competitive league).
[ ] This idea has been implemented in a mod.
[ ] This feature has existed in the vanilla game but was removed.
[ ] This idea is for internal procedures or tooling (e.g. improving the build process, supporting new systems).

I do not know how to code, nor am I that smart, I just know what goes where and whats old.

What

hipocentrum commented 3 years ago

Archive?

melvyn2 commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/melvyn2/team-comtress-2 HP's fork was archived because mastercoms privated tc2 for a bit and moved to my fork

Sirbucket commented 3 years ago

Got it, thanks

Should I update the linux build instructions to include this fork?
