1G huge pages had (have?) performance benefits on managed runtimes for certain scenarios (Both the JIT code cache and the GC space saw uplift on the SpecJ benchmarks if I recall correctly)

If using relatively large quantities of memory 2M should enable much higher TLB hit rates assuming the CPU doesn't do something silly like only having 4 slots for pages larger than 4k ¬.¬
