~~~
Bundle jemalloc and link it statically.
pro: No runtime hell.
con: Bloats source distribution. Costs non-glibc users.
con: Also costs the core devs because they have to sync the bundled jemalloc with the upstream.
~~~
This would be my choice as a maintainer and I trust antirez knows what he's doing when he made the same choice for Redis. You control the exact version and any resulting bugs. If you depend on the distro's package, you will integrate with a variety of versions, all with their own set of platform-specific bugs and crash reports. Ubuntu 14 might have jemalloc 3.6.0, 16 might have 4.2.0, 18 might have 5.0.1, etc. Dealing with those platform issues will also cost the core devs.
Linux/glibc is the platform for 90% of Ruby users in production. It's ok to support FreeBSD and OpenBSD but they are very small in terms of actual usage. If you want to make things better for the vast majority of the community, focus on Linux.

Feature #14718: Use jemalloc by default?

----------------------------------------
I know Sam opened #9113 4 years ago to suggest this but I'm revisiting the topic to see if there's any movement here for Ruby 2.6 or 2.7. I supply a major piece of Ruby infrastructure (Sidekiq) and I keep hearing over and over how Ruby is terrible with memory, a huge memory hog with their Rails apps. My users switch to jemalloc and a miracle occurs: their memory usage drops massively. Some data points:

https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/issues/3824#issuecomment-383072469
Redis moved to jemalloc many years ago and it solved all of their memory issues too. Their conclusion: the glibc allocator "sucks really really hard". http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/everything-about-redis-24.html
This is a real pain point for the entire Rails community and would improve Ruby's reputation immensely if we can solve this problem.
