 	  "malloc-simple" was written from scratch for uClibc, and is the
 	  simplest possible (and therefore smallest) malloc implementation.
-	  It is rather dumb, and certainly isn't the fastest.  But it is 100%
-	  standards compliant, thread safe, and very small.
+	  This uses only the mmap() system call to allocation memory, and does
+	  not use the brk() system call at all, making it a fine choice for
+	  MMU-less systems with very limited memory.  It is rather dumb, and

 	  "malloc-standard" is derived from the public domain dlmalloc
 	  implementation by Doug Lea.  It is quite fast, and is pretty smart
