| 1632 | Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained |
| 1633 | from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to |
| 1634 | userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that |

| 1636 | providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled, |
| 1637 | then the flag will be ignored. |
| 1638 | |
| 1639 | This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by |
