Things to try:

  • Opt into per-worker-thread arena with jemalloc.
  • Lower the thread count from num-cpus to num-cpus - 1 with a maximum of maybe 6 or 8. We get diminishing returns from having many threads due to this contention issue and the per-thread overhead of a few things like managing fonts.
  • Recycle the tile pixels.
