+jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
+fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came
+into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its
+way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010
+jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features
+such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc
+releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility
+remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc
+among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and
+eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real
+world applications.
+
+The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information.
+
+The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install
+jemalloc.
+
+The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release.
