Details

At the moment, building the standalone shell, even with --enable-jemalloc, does not use jemalloc.  Vlad and others have given me kind tips on how this can be done, but ideally, this using jemalloc shouldn't be reserved for special cases, but for normal performance hunting.  The reason is that, assuming jemalloc is faster than glibc/msvc malloc, doing all our development measurements without jemalloc will give us a skewed perspective on the effects of the changes we are making.

I would propose to use jemalloc for ordinary builds (without any flags), but I suspect that might mess up our embedders?
