Looks very useful for many "desktop" use cases. However I note from this
page: (first hit on google)

http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/X86_PAE.html

"PAE is required for NX support, and furthermore enables larger
swapspace support for non-overcommit purposes. It has the cost of more
pagetable lookup overhead, and also consumes more pagetable space per
process."

That suggests to me a similar situation to a win modem or auto resampling.

- Should this be a recommended method coming from LAD?

BTW, it would be interesting to get some real world feedback from anyone
who has this enabled already on a 32 bit platform.
