Benchmark and (if interesting) document hugepages related settings
We already have a documentation on how to use a tmpfs
to improve the usage of memory-mapping across multiple processes.
There is some Linux support to use hugepages (4Mb or 1Gb) when using a tmpfs
via the huge=
mount option. We probably should do some benchmark to see if there is any gain achieved when using hugepages there, and in that case document how to activate the right setting.
Maybe some other transparent hugepages would be worthwhile to investigate…
