Bursts of small object allocations late in process life contribute to fragmentation of the heap due to arenas (slabs) used internally by Perl. glibc malloc users should use C<MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=131072> to reduce -fragmentation from the sliding mmap window. jemalloc (tested as an -LD_PRELOAD on GNU/Linux) also reduces fragmentation compared to an -unconfigured glibc malloc in long-lived processes. +fragmentation from the sliding mmap window.
