# Why jemalloc?

Ruby relies on malloc(3) for its internal memory allocation. Using better malloc() implementation will boost your application performance, and supress the memory usage.
Ruby relies on malloc(3) for its internal memory allocation. Using a better malloc() implementation will boost your application performance and suppress memory usage.

jemalloc is a malloc(3) implementation, originally developed by Jason Evans. jemalloc handles small object better than other allocators so usually gives better performance and memory usage to Ruby programs.

# Why jemalloc?

Installing jemalloc separately from Ruby is pain in some cases (e.g. Heroku, EngineYard, etc). `je` gem contains jemalloc itself within a gem, and enables instant jemalloc injection in a really easy way: install `je` gem, and launch your app with `je` command.

# Install

Install `jemalloc` gem in your application. For [bundler](http://gembundler.com/) based application, please add the following line into your Gemfile, and and install `jemalloc` by `bundle install`.
