Does that mean that all kernel-smp packages have the PAE performance
hit, even if you have less than 4GB of RAM?

I am asking this since I don't need 6GB of RAM for now and, if I can
avoid the performance hit by decreasing the memory to 4GB, I'll just
take out a 2GB module from the server.

Thanks.
