No, the code is not efficient, but the But slower than just not doing PAE at all. Its almost like expanded memory all over again. Do you have any idea how a big pain in the ass that is?
32 bit is really a very useful architecture because its so cheap nowadays. It still has a lot of steam left. My favorite toy right now is actually a 1.2 ghz pentium m with 1 gb ddr2 memory. > same trick was done when 8 bit moved to 16, and 16 to 32, and is still > done in all the 64 bit instructions today. > Abstracting 2 discrete 32 bit CPU's to make 1 64 bit CPU is also just > another kludge.

Im not sure if you know what you are talking about. -- Democracy is about two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for dinner.
