 Why would it not be optimal?

 If you have 16GB RAM in two slots and a few megabytes here and there
 scattered in some slots, you have three orders of magnitudes to
 spare.

Yes but you might not be accessing all that RAM.
Maybe your workset is just tens of megabytes.

Great, then you fault it in and never touch the slots array again.

Yep. Except for emulated mmio :)
