// Using large pages speeds up the execution at a cost of larger memory use.
// Deallocation may speed up by a factor as the page map gets 8x smaller, so
// lookups in the page map result in fewer L2 cache misses, which translates to
// speedup for application/platform combinations with high L2 cache pressure.
// As the number of size classes increases with large pages, we increase
// the thread cache allowance to avoid passing more free ranges to and from
// central lists.  Also, larger pages are less likely to get freed.
// These two factors cause a bounded increase in memory use.
