      "Help" file:

      Use large memory pages:
      If enabled, 7-Zip will try to use large pages. This feature allows to increase speed of compressing. But 7-Zip can make some pause at starting of compressing for allocating large pages. Also Task Manager doesn't show real memory usage of program, if 7-Zip uses large pages. This feature works only on Windows 2003 / XP x64 / Vista. Also you must have administrator's rights for your system. Recommended size of RAM: 1 GB or more. To install this feature you must run 7-Zip File Manager at least once, close it and reboot system.
