Enable huge pages for Postgres and Neki

You can now enable huge pages for your Postgres and Neki databases on supported cluster sizes. Huge pages reduce the memory and CPU overhead of managing PostgreSQL's shared memory.

Set huge_pages to on in the Parameters tab on the Clusters page for Postgres, or in a configuration profile's Parameters tab for Neki. Applying this change requires a restart. For Postgres, if you don't see the huge_pages=on option, your cluster might not support huge pages, or you might need to run maintenance first.
