Yes, most of the time consumption is page allocation. MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE doesn't affect the result，so I just use one of them at will, although no process share memory with it. > > Is 2.3ms the total time for writing to that 1GiB of memory or how did you derive that number? Posting both results would be cleaner (with more digits ;) ). > I'm sorry I got the measuring unit wrong，actually it is 2.3us for every page fault.
