Hmm.. Could not get tcmalloc to compile at all on sparc, using either sun compiler or the canned gcc in /usr/sfw. Aparently it uses some asm, not ported to sparc.
The README says only x86 and x86-64 are well supported. PPC support was added more recently. Nothing for sparc.
The README also points to our results with OpenLDAP...If you're using Solaris/sparc you might as well just use libumem which they already provide.
I was wondering of anybody has used much of tcmalloc (from google performance tools) and has any opinion they care to share with regards to performance of berkeleydb/openldap toolset ?
