  As a demonstration, I want to measure something that caught my attention months ago—an interesting topic brought up by Jason Pearson: the use of jemalloc as a native memory allocator for Android builds. The initial claim is that this usage brings a reduction in memory usage by optimizing how memory is allocated and deallocated. jemalloc is designed to minimize memory fragmentation and improve performance, particularly in multithreaded applications, making it ideal for resource-intensive builds.

  The experiment was executed with 100 iterations(fresh agent without cache) for each variant, using the nowinandroid project and focusing on the assembleRelease task. By comparing the results, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of jemalloc in reducing memory usage and improving build performance in a CI environment.
