Directory Server now uses the *tcmalloc* memory allocator Red Hat Directory Server now uses the *tcmalloc* memory allocator. The previously used standard *glibc* allocator required more memory, and in certain situations, the server could run out of memory. Using the *tcmalloc* memory allocator, Directory Server now requires less memory, and the performance increased.
