Why is the page size of Linux (x86) 4 KB, how is that calculated?
- simonblack 3y agoPage sizes in UNIX and UNIX-like systems have been 4K for as long as I can remember knowing about pages, about 30-odd years. It was obviously a good compromise size back then. It could probably be increased to (say) 64K without much hassle in these days of 32-64 gigs of RAM.
