Illusion.
The first time you'll use your data elements, you'll face a "soft" page defaults.
If your code has an initialization process to map the shared memory, I advise you to read some elements of the data (use a lopp to read one element on ? elements).
So when you'll use your data when you'll really need it, it will be faster.
