My experiences have been positive with 6.3, 7.0.1, and so far with 7.5 (non-production). I like the concept of using the guards and I like things to stop when things go really wrong (which is what this will do). The memory increase is negligible (<5%) unless you are already running into problems with memory exhaustion, in which case I would suggest setting up a farm/server group or upgrading to 7.5.
If you develop custom C plugins, libumem stops you from doing dumb things, which is nice.
