I'd expect similar performance but less fragmentation?, less memory used by the process if you aren't regularly calling MallocExtension::instance()->ReleaseFreeMemory() as a tcmalloc user. The first answer at https://www.quora.com/Is-tcmalloc-stable-enough-for-production-use https://www.quora.com/Is-tcmalloc-stable-enough-for-producti... (by Keith Adams) is completely consistent with what I've seen. Rust went with jemalloc for some reason too.
