Better test case timings: I changed from doing entire linear write testing to just touching the pages, to take memory bandwidth out of the equation. VirtualAlloc takes 0ms on 4k pages, 6ms on 2mb pages. Fault handling takes 60ms on 4k pages, 0ms on 2mb pages. So that's that.

wait what!? so they added bigger pages to the ISA and we just don't use them?

Correct. You can see a 2011 legacy explanation from Raymond Chen here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20110128-00/?p=11643 … In my opinion, none of the things he says are true today, but, I guess this part of the kernel has still not been updated since then? I don't know :(
