Huge pages support

[SATtva]

Is there any sense in employing huge pages support in Lux? I have no idea how serious a TLB miss ratio is in a typical case and how much of a problem it represents, but suspect it can be of a substantial problem on big scenes. Does anybody have some factual data?

Did a couple of tests with libhugetlbfs linked with Lux. Unfortunately, the largest (poly-wise) scene of mine -- "42" -- didn't shown any speed improvement. However, it's just 340Mb RAM, maybe not enough to see a real TLB degradation.
