There are a lot of ways to write the same story; Mimalloc has a few innovations of its own, has good benchmarks to justify them, and the paper is a very good read. In particular, Mimalloc works to increase data locality, by using per-‘page’ (64kB memory blocks) free queues. All this with a codebase almost a tenth the size of jemalloc, and it's looking very promising.
