I made some measures and found that on Itanium it takes about ~700 CPU cycles to load a single
byte when TLB is missing and VHPT is enabled vs. ~900 cycles with VHPT disabled and handling the
TLB miss in the IVT. Does anybody know if the VHPT walker is implemented in hardware (probably
not), microcode (that's what I think) or unimplemented at all?
