Thanks, I neglected to share a link to a result from the past to show the
benefit from jemalloc and tcmalloc with MyRocks. RSS was much larger with
glibc malloc because tcmalloc and jemalloc are better at avoiding
fragmentation when dealing with something like RocksDB that puts stress on
the allocator. This isn't an issue for InnoDB. I will repeat this test soon.
