The upside is no memory remapping on context switch, the downside is that programs are limited to 2GB instead of 3GB (take into account here also the swap not only physical memory).Where can I find that patch? I'd like to try it in my laptop. It's a Centrino chipset laptop with 1Gb of RAM installed. When highmem is enabled, slows to a crawl. (Why? Anyone know?)
A quick Google search will probably turn it up. Just be careful if you use binary kernel modules, as hte 2G/2G patch has been known to break some of those modules. -Roberto Sanchez
