That strikes me as a common hugepages win. People never believe you, though, when you say you can make their thing 20% faster for free.

Then it should be pretty easy to display that 20% "faster for free", no? But as always the devil is in the details. I experimented a lot with huge pages, and although in theory you should see the performance boost, the workloads I have been using to test this hypothesis did not end up with anything statistically significant/measurable. So, my conclusion was ... it depends.
