    // It may seem odd to use such small pages.
    //
    // However, on a typical Windows implementation that uses
    // the OS allocator, "normal size" pages interact with the
    // "ordinary" operator new, slowing it down dramatically.
    //
    // 512 byte pages are handled by the small object allocator,
    // and don't interfere with ::new.
    //
    // The other alternative is to use much bigger pages (1M.)
    //
    // It is surprisingly easy to hit pathological behavior by
    // varying the page size. g++ 2.96 on Red Hat Linux 7.2,
    // for example, passionately dislikes 496. 512 seems OK.
