When the working set consists of a large number of small, separated regions in the virtual address space, less thrashing occurs. Let s say we want to store the elements of the first row only. Using less space in memory is always a plus. Less amount of bytes unused on the last page. If the page table is maintained in hardware, that means we need more registers, which increases the cost of the computer.
Small pages make insufficient use of disk bandwidth.
For small pages, one must go to the disk more often to get the information. The symbol table, containing the names and attributes of variables. The source text being saved for the printed listing. A table containing all the integer and floating-point constants used. The parse tree, containing the syntactic analysis of the program.
