Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2825:
-------------------------------------

bq. CPU cache / TLB effects? Using more address space isn't completely free.

In the case of Solaris I think there is much less of a chance of TLB effects? 
For example on Solaris java automatically uses large pages (unlike Linux, 
Windows etc).
