Hi, 

I have a question regarding the mpool_hugepage_page_size MCA parameter. 

Would varying this parameter affect performance over the infiniband network for 
large messages (messages greater than the eager limit)? 

I have set the parameter to 4K and 4MB (default is 2MB on the machine) and ran 
a simple latency benchmark (osu_latency) between two nodes over an Infiniband 
interconnect. The results show a marginal slowdown with larger page sizes but 
is insufficient as the variance between the multiple runs is sufficiently large 
on the 4K runs. 

I have had a quick glance through the ompi source code and cannot definitively 
say whether this parameter affects performance of large messages.

Many Thanks, 

Dean
