Re: Impact of Increasing M_MMAP_THRESHOLD to 1GB in malloc().

The binning is for small allocations only.  No changes will be needed
for correctness.  There are scalability issues if you have many
allocations of sizes that are not tracked in bins, but that is a
preexisting problem in the allocator, unrelated to changing the mmap
threshold or the heap size.
