JEMalloc is almost certainly overkill for this application. It sounds
likely you're allocating fixed sized objects (or at least not too many
of them). For that, a simple slab allocator should do the trick.
Alterntively, rtld contains a simple pooled malloc that's not hard
to adapt to random backing stores (libexec/rtld-elf/malloc.c). I've
got version adapted for CHERI with pluggable storage backends at
https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/cheribsd/tree/master/lib/libmalloc_simple.
It wouldn't be too hard turn it back into portable C.
