Вот чего про numa+ksm пишут:
If KSM is in use on a NUMA system, change the value of the /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_nodes parameter to 0 to avoid merging pages across NUMA nodes. Otherwise, KSM increases remote memor accesses as it merges pages across nodes. Furthermore, kernel memory accounting statistics can eventually contradict each other after large amounts of cross-node merging. As such, numad can become confused about the correct amounts and locations of available memory, after the KSM daemon merges many memory pages. KSM is beneficial only if you are overcommitting the memory on your system. If your system has sufficient free memory, you may achieve higher performance by turning off and disabling the KSM daemon.
