I have done small benchmark with tcmalloc and jemalloc, transparent hugepage=always|never. for tcmalloc, they are no difference. but for jemalloc, the difference is huge (around 25% lower with tp=never). jemmaloc 4.6.0+tp=never vs tcmalloc use 10% more RSS memory jemmaloc 4.0+tp=never almost use same RSS memory than tcmalloc ! I don't have monitored memory usage in recovery, but I think it should help too. tcmalloc 2.1 tp=always ------------------- USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 67746 120 1.0 1531220 671152 ?
