As I wrote bug was in clamav...
Big thanks for new malloc - it work very fast and scales well with SMP.
For test was used system with 2 CPU x 4 cores.
clamd scan time with jemalloc (under current) - 5.6 seconds.
Same hardware, but with 6.2 stable - 274.8 seconds
(and with 8 cores it several times slower than with only one core).
