Note that the latter unfortunately does not follow glibc trims because trimming is done AFAIK with madvice(MADV_DONTNEED) which does not seem to affect glibc internal bookkeeping. Still its a very valuable thing to know in order to estimate glibc overhead especially in fine granular mass allocation scenarios.
