Be aware that 1GB pages is only 1-2% increase in hashrate

Which operating system are you using? On Debian based systems (like Ubuntu) you can just install msr-tools with `sudo apt install msr-tools`, load the kernel module with `modprobe msr`, and then if you run XMRig as root with sudo, it can apply the MSR tweaks itself.

FWIW I installed Ubuntu 20 LTS and just compiled and ran XMRig without installing any msr mod stuff and it works fine. So I don't think most people have to do that.

Yes, it will work fine without the MSR tweaks and huge pages. But you're leaving performance (free money) on the table

I quit my Ubuntu 20 LTS miner, installed the msr tweak like you described, and reran the miner, and the hashrate went up by 0.044%. Sort of interesting.

It could be that XMRig was already applying the tweaks (it tries to do so if you run it as root), or that it doesn't bother applying any tweaks to your CPU. .04% is too small.
