I guess that is because  "./Run -c 1 -i 1 shell1" isn't an application
stressed on
memory. Hi Xin, in what kinds of configurations can we reproduce your test
result?

As I suppose tlbbatch will mainly affect the performance of user scenarios
which require memory page-out/page-in like reclaiming file/anon pages.
"./Run -c 1 -i 1 shell1" on a system with sufficient free memory won't be
affected by tlbbatch at all, I believe.

Thanks
Barry
