Comment:

 so I read what I'm pretty sure is all of the information online about
 replacing malloc, and I'm pretty sure that this is the best global option
 possible. another option that can be explored is to have tor_malloc_ call
 jemalloc, but AFAICT most distros build jemalloc with no prefix, so dlopen
 magic would be needed.
