6. What would make large page support in Linux better for your application?

Duh. Fewer TLB cache reloads.

I would think that a simpler mechanism (not the "filesystem" approach) would be better. I would like to simply let an application use large pages for its allocations. Used to do this with IRIX and it was great.


Cheers,
