ptmalloc3 is also a new implementation of ptmalloc2 and is also based on a newer dlmalloc. ptmalloc3 currently outperforms nedmalloc for a low number of threads especially on uniprocessor hardware, but on dual processor and above or with a lot of threads nedmalloc is faster. nedmalloc also runs fine on Windows whereas ptmalloc3 would (to my knowledge) require extra support code.
