Dozens of years of kernel building, dozens of OSes, dozens of physical architectures, all having settled on minimum 4KB pages being a right balance between performance and memory usage, wiped away by a single offhand comment with no knowledge about the situation. Now that's HN.
Just the sheer TLB memory usage and performance implication of doing single byte pages would send CPU performance back to the stone age.
