>>1.) Is there some edivence that it is faster (under realistic workload)?

I known that transparent hugepage can be really a problem with a lot of 
database (oracle,mysql,redis,..)
I never bench it myself, but I hope that Cesar will do it ;).

Disable transparent hugepage is a solution, but it's disable it for all the vms.

I think that static hugepage can do the job, but it need to be tested.


>>2.) Where do we free/dealloc those hugepages? Are the associated with the KVM 
>>process somehow? 

I'm not sure that when hupage are defined, they use memory by default.

But when the kvm process is starting, the memory is allocated/reserverd for the 
kvm process, 
and the memory is free up on kvm process stop.

1.) Is there some edivence that it is faster (under realistic workload)? 

2.) Where do we free/dealloc those hugepages? Are the associated with the KVM 
process somehow?
