Why use -lmalloc

I've been puzzled about the existence of a second library for malloc on my
system for some time (I have a SCO '386 box).  Other than being tunable beyond
my wildest dreams, what does using -lmalloc buy me?  What does it cost me?  I
would assume that there's a tradeoff or there'd only be one library entry.
