We've been doing some measurements on how densely clumped ptes are. On 32-bit platforms, they're pretty dense. On IA64, quite a bit sparser, depending on the workload of course. I think that's mostly because of the larger pagesize on IA64 -- with 64k pages, you don't need very many to map a small object.
I'm hoping IanW can give more details. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
