If it depends on mmap(), porting may not be trivial, either.
Still, if it's a drop-in replacement for malloc, I see no reason that
a particular installation couldn't use it with Postgres --- and we could
even recommend that, if it's a big win. The license conflict would
preclude actually including it with Postgres, but pointing to it is
no problem.
Anyone want to try it and see if it provides a noticeable speed
improvement?
