PAGED_LAL_SIZE

   PAGED_LAL_SIZE sets the maximum size, in bytes, to use for the
   page dynamic pool lookaside lists. Use of these lookaside lists
   can reduce paged dynamic pool variable freelist fragmentation and
   improve paged pool allocation and deallocation performance.

   By default, PAGED_LAL_SIZE is set to 0, which disables the use of
   the paged dynamic pool lookaside lists.

   For environments experiencing paged pool variable freelist
   fragmentation a modest PAGED_LAL_SIZE, 512, has been adequate
   to improve paged pool performance and reduce fragmentation. If
   this parameter is made large and later decreased in size, some
   paged pool packets can be left unused until the parameter is made
   larger again, or the lookaside lists are reclaimed from due to a
   paged pool shortage. The paged dynamic pool lookaside lists will
   not occupy more than three-quarters of the available paged pool.

   PAGED_LAL_SIZE has DYNAMIC, GEN, and MAJOR attributes.
