pitrou opened a new issue, #43254: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/43254
### Describe the enhancement requested As discussed [on the mailing-list](https://lists.apache.org/thread/dts9ggvkthczfpmd25wrz449mxod76o2), we should switch the default memory pool to mimalloc for all platforms. This would have several desirable effects: - less variability between platforms - mimalloc generally has a nicer, more consistent API and is easier to work with (in particular, jemalloc's configuration scheme is slightly abtruse) - potentially better performance, or at least not significantly worse, than the statu quo ### Component(s) C++ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
