Wait, doesn't usemymalloc mean to use the system's native malloc? This
from INSTALL:
"To build without perl's malloc, you can use the Configure command
sh Configure -Uusemymalloc"
On Linux 2.2, Perl uses its own malloc by default. To use the native
malloc, specify -Dusemymalloc. It might be amusing to compare the two, as
Linux has a very fast malloc implementation.
BTW, I couldn't find reference to usemymalloc in the guide.
