... I plan to have another look at those old experiments (things pretty much worked, but there was a savage performance hit...).

I remember. If people report positive results on Linux and Windows, I'd +1 it even if it slowed all other platforms. I see Neil fiddled his patch to allow turning pymalloc off again, and that makes it a no-brainer (if it sucks on your platform, turn it off on your platform).
