// ------------------ malloc option setter -----------------------
//
// There is a global instance of MallocOptionSetter.  Upon construction,
// it gets the CPU type.  If is it AMD or Intel, it sets the mallopt
// parameters to a set that works best for that environment.  The best
// values have been chosen based on running a simple cmsRun job.
//
// The four values that get reset are:
//   M_MMAP_MAX, M_TRIM_THRESHOLD, M_TOP_PAD, M_MMAP_THRESHOLD
//
// Current the best AMD and Intel values were calculated using:
//   AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248
//   Intel Dual Core something or other
//
// These values will need to be checked when new CPUs are available or
// when we move to 64 bit executables.
