My point is that it does work. I tested with Python 2.7 and Python 3.6+.

I developed that tweak for Python 2.7 and I am running in production with Python 3.6. I tested with later Python versions, too.

Do you have some pointers about arenas always using mmap? I'd like to know how that trick can work if that was the case.

I discovered a similar trick few years ago: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35660899/reduce-memory-f...

The idea is to tweak when `mmap` or `malloc` are used by the Python interpreter. One allows memory to be released to the OS right away, whereas the other is not.

It is a useful trick if your application is generating lots of small objects.
