oversize. Allocation requests with greater sizes are fulfilled from a
dedicated arena (automatically managed, however not within
<literal>narenas</literal>), in order to reduce fragmentation by not
- mixing huge allocations with small ones. In addition, the reserved
- special arena may have its own default decay settings. Note that
- requests with arena index specified via
+ mixing huge allocations with small ones. In addition, the decay API
+ guarantees on the extents greater than the specified threshold may be

<constant>MALLOCX_ARENA</constant>, or threads associated with explicit
arenas will not be considered. The default threshold is 8MiB. Values
not within large size classes disables this feature.</para></listitem>
