Internet in this country sucks; it´s almost the worst in the world.

I´ve been able to get the PDF with the tor browser today.
I´d say the gist is that using numad can improve performance, depending
on the hardware used and on the workload it performs. That, as usual,
leaves everyone to do their own testing with their hardware and their
workload.
In my case --- besides using numad, which won´t hurt anything --- it
might be best to use numactl to pin the particular application I want to
tune the most to one node and its memory. There is more than enough
local memory for it. In theory, that should give best overall
performance, and the particular application can nothing but benefit from
using local memory. Since it´s also doing disk I/O, I need to find out
which of the two nodes might be preferable. Benchmarking would be
really difficult.
However, that still leaves the mystery what NUMA split mode is supposed
to be.
