Hi, I was thinking if it made sense to use HugeTLB for the squid memory/buffer subsystem and was about to hack it in.
I don't know how big other people run their memory caches, but mine is sized around 256MB - which makes it > 65000 pagetable entries (at 4kb/page) which absolutely kills any TLB or caches when walking the tables on a miss (locality issues aside). It further is a stressing factor on the VM subsystem. With HugeTLB (normally has 4MB pages) there would be only 66 which fits most TLBs entirely. What do you developers think - worthy addition? Kind regards, Ronny
