No, AFAICT.

For the last four years or so, FreeBSD (like other non-glibc based
systems) has been able to use its native libc malloc instead of the
bundled gmalloc (first via HYBRID_MALLOC and now thanks to pdumper).

The test case described above in this bug report now takes only a few
seconds (both with or without compression).

My patch above should be consigned to oblivion.
