Hello,

When my computer becomes low on RAM, PHP becomes really slow.

When I strace (sudo strace -p 2865  -f -T -tt) a composer update for exemple, I can see the following :

10:53:01.519555 mmap(NULL, 136314880, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f4349000000 <0.000006>

an theses calls are very slow. During theses call one core of my CPU is at 100% and I have some free RAM 

I usually close my browser to "fix" this issue, but it's not convenient...

I have seen similar issue https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70984 or https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76867

And I tried to run sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=512 But without success

I've disabled the use of MADV_HUGEPAGE by default in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/928c42211f737640e4dc3c9702ba833c3059bddf. This is not the first reports of large slowdowns due to MADV_HUGEPAGE, so it's best to be conservative here.
