16KiB pages
configname: CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB
MMU page size

In linux kernel since version 2.6.12
This option is usually a good compromise between memory
consumption and performance for typical desktop and server

to 4KB pages as well as reducing TLB pressure and overhead of
per-page operations in the kernel at the expense of a larger
page cache.
