Following up to myself, I now think this is the problem, maybe in both
cases:
page size: 1073741824 bytes
GCL will support Linux huge pages with considerable performance gain,
but this value when available should be around 2Mb.
I suspect a configure script failure:
j=""
if test -e /proc/meminfo ; then
j=`awk '/^Hugepagesize:/ {if ($3!="kB") next;j=1;for (i=0;i<20 && j!=$2;i++)
j=j*2;if (j==$2) printf("%d\n",i+10)}' /proc/meminfo`
fi
Could you please send me `cat /proc/meminfo`.
Take care,
