Some configurations may benefit from enabling Transparent Huge Page (THP). THP should be set to [always] to avoid drops in bandwidth at very large message sizes. Bulk Transfer Service (BTS) is less sensitive to this tuning.

If the default is set, this file should show the following output:

$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
[always] madvise never

If the result above is [never], you can ask your system administrator to enable it.
