Google Performance Tools
The fastest malloc we've seen; works particularly well with threads and STL. Also: thread-friendly heap-checker, heap-profiler, and cpu-profiler.
Overview
Perftools is a collection of a high-performance multi-threaded malloc() implementation, plus some pretty nifty performance analysis tools.
Perftools is distributed under the terms of the BSD License.

Example
Note: this is by no means complete documentation, but simply gives you an idea of what the API is like.
No recompilation is necessary to use these tools.
TC Malloc:
gcc [...] -ltcmalloc
Heap Checker:
gcc [...] -o myprogram -ltcmalloc
HEAPCHECK=normal ./myprogram
Heap Profiler:
gcc [...] -o myprogram -ltcmalloc
HEAPPROFILE=/tmp/netheap ./myprogram
Cpu Profiler:
gcc [...] -o myprogram -lprofiler
CPUPROFILE=/tmp/profile ./myprogram
Sample Output
The heap profiler can pop up a window that displays information as a directed graph:
The cpu profiler can produce a weighted call graph:
