Depends on what the workload is actually doing. 64K pages should help if
the mapping is multiple of 64K, persistent and accesses patterns are more
or less linear to be nice with the TLB. 64K can take bit more time if the
memory requirement is way smaller than 64K in which case latency probably
can increase just to zero out the single page allocated. Latency can add
up if this happens on a regular basis. perf report can help find out more
on this.
