The catch with 2MB pages on x86 is that x86 CPUs generally have much less 2MB TLB entries than 4K entries. So if you're unlucky and access a lot of mappings you might actually thrash more with them. That is why they are not necessarily an universal win. -Andi _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
