Hi Dmitry,
I finally finished testing all the options and found the VIRT value can be 
reduced from 66 GB to 16 GB with --legacy-mem setting in EAL init argument.  So 
I therefore had to increase the VM memory from 16 GB to 24 GB (instead of 80 GB 
without this setting).

I wonder what do we give up with this setting?

All the other settings I tried and combinations of these had no impact 
(socket-limit=2048, single-file-segments, no-shconf, and no-telemetry) on VIRT 
memory.

Thanks,
Ed

Sorry for the typo, I meant v22.11.2 that you're testing.
