Did you guys use a custom allocator for rust? And if so how did it differ from jemalloc and how could it be compared to C++ allocators like tbb::scalable_allocator?

We use a custom version of jemalloc, with profiling enabled so that we can use it.

We also tweak jemalloc pretty heavily for our workload.
