Comment (by cypherpunks):

 How does this compare with PartitionAlloc (Chromium's malloc) or hardened
 PartitionAlloc in terms of security? I mean DieHarder seems pretty
 experimental, whereas PartitionAlloc is designed specifically for a
 browser and is actively developed and constantly fuzzed by hundreds of
 machines. Is there an actual argument for using this over using Chromium's
 malloc?
