I've got stable on at least 4 customer machines with the phk-malloc.  They all
run fine and fast.  As for beating on, my home machine only has 8 megs, 
runs X 24 hours a day (Due to the sparc monitor on it) and has been
running stable for at least a month.  My poor machine thrashs at the drop
of a hat or even a glance:)
