Linux allocator is based on ptmalloc2 which is based on DLMalloc, so for usual allocations they should perform similarly. On multithreaded scenarios the default allocator should be better. In Windows the performance improvement is noticeable.

I haven't tested these allocators, but it seems worth mentioning that for general allocations, while ptmalloc2 is a significant performance improvement vs. the Windows XP allocator, it makes little difference vs. the Windows 7 allocator, at least in my tests.
