> Hugetlb initialization during boot takes up a considerable amount of time. For instance, on a 2TB system, initializing 1,800 1GB huge pages takes 1-2 seconds out of 10 seconds. Initializing 11,776 1GB pages on a 12TB Intel host takes more than 1 minute

So my 128GB server seems unlikely to benefit much.
