Page tables in the last level of a hierarchical page table system are scanned for candidate page tables. Candidate page tables are converted to large pages, having a page table entry in a level before the last level of the hierarchical page table system adjusted to be associated with the newly created large page. Upon receiving a notification that a large page is to be converted into a page table, a new page table is created. Each entry in the new page table is associated with a small segment of memory in the large page and an entry in a page table one level before the last level in a hierarchical page table system is adjusted to be associated with the new page table.
