Enable huge pages for jemalloc. This requests the Linux kernel to use huge (2 MB) pages for large allocations. This has the effect of speeding up first accesses to those allocations, and possibly also speeds up future accesses by reducing TLB faults. By default, 4 KB pages are used unless the user enables huge pages through a kernel parameter or an obscure sysfs setting. For Cycles benchmarks, this gives about a 5% CPU rendering performance improvement. It likely also improves performance in other areas of Blender.
