For example, jemalloc 3.x reduces memory usage of CRuby by ~50% and increases throughput by ~10%. It also makes an enormous difference with KV stores like Redis so it's compiled in by default.

Weakness is basically binary size and code complexity.

Why is jemalloc not included in glibc then?

jemalloc is the default allocator on FreeBSD. glibc uses ptmalloc for historical reasons.
