    Description

      SERVER-16551 and SERVER-16517 both indicate that for many mongodb workloads, the default cap on the size of all per-thread caches imposed by tcmalloc is too low. We should raise the cap, and expose an option to allow the administrator to tune it at start-up and runtime.

      Specifically, mongod should present the tcmalloc property tcmalloc.max_total_thread_cache_bytes via a tcmallocMaxTotalThreadCacheBytes argument to setParameter, and tcmalloc.aggressive_memory_decommit via tcmallocAggressiveMemoryDecommit.
