Mimalloc is an optimized replacement for memory management (allocation, etc)
https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc
This is supposed to manage memory allocation better so potentially being faster and using less memory.
In our actual scenes (measured with batch mode), they are always a gain but quite modest, around 1 or 2% speedup. Benchmark on memory usage itself has not been measured.
mimalloc can be install with apt for debian/linux (without a doubt with other distrib/packages manager) and homebrew for macos. No idea for windows, but one can always clone/build/install and set it in the cmake configuration.
