Is Hoard better or worse than nedmalloc?
As of v1.01, nedmalloc is close enough to Hoard to make little difference in real world code (see real world benchmarks above). nedmalloc’s synthetic test seems to trigger a bug in Hoard causing dismal performance, however I trust its author and its design enough to say that Hoard may be slightly faster in certain circumstances eg; if code allocates a large block in one thread and frees it in another. However, Hoard is licensed under the GPL unless you pay which is not the case with nedmalloc.
