Summary:
Larger arena block size does provide the benefit of reducing allocation overhead, however it may cause other troubles. For example, allocator is more likely not to allocate them to physical memory and trigger page fault. Weighing the risk, we cap the arena block size to 1MB. Users can always use a larger value if they want.
