-# An LD_PRELOAD for libjemalloc can be added here.  It is
-# more resistant to fragmentation in long-lived daemons than glibc.
-# If you're unable to use jemalloc, setting MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_
-# to a lower value (e.g. 131072) but that may also require increasing
-# the sys.vm.max_map_count sysctl.

+# Setting MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=131072 reduces fragmentation by
+# disabling the sliding mmap window in glibc malloc.  For 64-bit systems,
+# LD_PRELOAD for libjemalloc may be added here, instead.  jemalloc is more
+# resistant to fragmentation in long-lived daemons than unconfigured glibc
+# malloc on systems with large VM space.  32-bit systems may be better
+# off sticking with glibc and MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_.
