Does IQ support huge pages on Linux x86-64?

I ask because I don't see any references to huge memory pages in the IQ manuals or white papers.  I know ASE supports it.  If not, why not?

Jason,

There has been some discussion that the most recent releases (16.0, 15.4 esd3) now support transparent hugepages.  But TSP is much different than the dedicated hugepages. We don't support dedicated hugepages like ASE does at this point.

Thanks Mark.  What is the ETA on supporting real huge pages? 

For those of you that aren't familiar with huge pages or transparent huge pages on Linux, you can read up on it at http://lwn.net/Articles/423584/
