FC1 did not ship bigmem kernels anymore. What is the reason? Too few users, too much support? Functionality swallowed by smp kernel?
plan is to use i686-smp kernel for this functionality.
Does this mean that the -smp kernels have the overhead associated with bigmem kernels of the past? In the past I was told that the induced overhead of bigmem support made it not worth it until the 6gig~ memory size. 5~ gigs of ram wasn't enough ram to put up w/ the overhead... or am I smoking crack?
It's marginal. There's far bigger measurable overhead with features like selinux than PAE.
