Yep, it just takes longer before the fragmentation becomes a problem.
Apart from that, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that when
you resolve fragmentation this way (one huge address space), bits of
allocated memory will be spread across the 4GB space which means you'll
be swapping all the time even though you're not actually using as much
RAM as you physically have. Or am I imagining this wrong?
