Problem Statement
The current libmdbx implementation uses the default system malloc allocator, which frequently experiences 1-2 second delays during memory allocation operations. This performance bottleneck significantly impacts the overall system performance, especially during high-frequency database operations in the X Layer Erigon node.
Solution Overview
This PR implements jemalloc as the default memory allocator for libmdbx operations by leveraging
LD_PRELOADduring Docker build time. This approach allows developers to configure jemalloc behavior through theMALLOC_CONFenvironment variable without modifying the application code.Key Changes
