 #### `1gb-pages`
 Use 1GB hugepages for RandomX dataset (Linux only). Enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`). It gives 1-3% speedup.

+[MSR mod](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/randomx-optimization-guide/msr). Enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`). It gives up to 15% speedup depending on your system. _(**Note**: Userspace MSR writes are no longer enabled by default; the flag `msr.allow_writes=on` must be set for Linux Kernels 5.9 and after.)_
