> The memory wastage is just rediculious. In an ideal world we'd have variable sized pages ... but since most arcthitectures have no h/w support for these it may be a long time before that comes to Linux. In a fixed page size world the right page size to use depends on the workload and the capacity of the system. When memory capacity is measured in hundreds of GB, then a larger page size doesn't look so ridiculous. -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
