Transparent Huge Pages (THP) is a memory management feature in Linux operating systems that aims to enhance system performance. While THP can be beneficial for many applications, enabling it on a database server could have unintended consequences. As such, it is generally recommended to disable THP for most database workloads.

One of the most important concepts in analysing database performance is that of understanding scalability. When a system ‘scales’ it is able to deliver higher levels of performance proportional to the system resources available to it.

Changing the value directly influences the performance of the Linux system. Lower values reduce swapping and keep more memory pages in physical memory.
