Hi Alex,

Actually I enable the madvise since from the description it could create a
more efficient memory usage when using transparent hugepages. But yeah, you
were right I just noticed that nbhs only adviced to use hugetlbfs (which I
already had in my config) thus I'm not using transparent hugepages at all
for the VM.

Can you enlighten me on how those 2 kernel configurations can eliminate the
mini stutters? The thing is that the mini stutters only happens on Witcher
3, and after applying those config the game is very fluid.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Okky Hendriansyah
