 Finally, contention-free statistics gathering and debugging have a low enough cost to be used in production code.
 
-The ability to compile llheap static/dynamic linking and optional statistics/debugging provides programers with multiple mechanisms to balance performance and safety.
-These allocator versions are easy to use because can be linked to an application without recompilation.

 Starting a micro-benchmark test-suite for comparing allocators, rather than relying on a suite of arbitrary programs, has been an interesting challenge.
 The current micro-benchmark allows some understand of allocator implementation properties without actually looking at the implementation.
-For example, dmalloc and ptmalloc3 were quickly identified has having course-grain locking in the Speed micro-benchmark.
+For example, the memory micro-benchmark quickly identified how several of the allocators work at the global level.
 It was not possible to show how the micro-benchmarks adjustment knobs were used to tune to an interesting test point.
 Many graphs were created and discarded until a few were selected for the thesis.

 A careful walk-though of the allocator fastpath should yield additional optimizations for a slight performance gain.
+In particular, looking at the implementation of rpmalloc, which is often the fastest allocator,
 
 The micro-benchmarks project requires more testing and analysis.
