A comment on Operation Costs in CPU Clock Cycles.

The post states:

"in particular, tcmalloc and ptmalloc2 allocators can take as little as 200-500 CPU cycles for allocation/deallocation of a small object"

Does anyone how many cycles the regular glibc malloc() takes?

I believe ptmalloc2 is glibc's malloc.

Yes you are correct. Does anyone know how many cycles that is comparatively?
