Summary: "Coming up in our forums was a testing request to compare the

performance of Linux between using 32-bit, 32-bit PAE, and 64-bit

kernels. This is coming after Linus Torvalds has spoke of 25%

performance differences between kernels using CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G and those

without this option that allows 32-bit builds to address up to 4GB of

physical RAM on a system. We decided to compare the performance of the

32-bit, 32-bit PAE, and 64-bit kernels on a modern desktop system and

here are the results."
