This yields a **5–12% wall-clock improvement** on evaluation workloads, ranging from `nix-instantiate hello` to `nix-env -qa` and full NixOS configurations.
The allocator can be disabled at build time with `-Dmimalloc=disabled`.
The allocator can be disabled at build time with `-Dnix:mimalloc=disabled`.
