Description

I tried this in ARROW-11350 but ran into an issue (https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/issues/353). That has since been resolved and we could apply a patch to bring it in. Or we can wait for it to get into a proper release.

There is also now a 1.7 release, which claims to work on the Apple M1, as well as a 2.0 version, which claims better performance.
