Is node using default glibc memory allocator? #147

Open

Description

@pavel-rosputko

Node demonstrates growing memory usage over time. Rust is using default glibc memory allocator by default which doesn't handle fragmentation too well. Suggestion: switch to https://crates.io/crates/tikv-jemallocator or https://crates.io/crates/mimalloc which are modern replacements for reliable production systems
