I've done benchmarks of this type on the Origin2000 with IRIX 6.5 and the page size can have a big effect on performance. It's very easy to experiment since individual users can select the page size used by their application for code, data, and stack. I don't know how the OS deals with that though. Seems like it could be a tricky thing to do.
