Thanks.  That seems to be what I was looking for.

It's not in the Fedora kernels but is in Debian.  I'll poke around more.


I guess I'm slightly surprised that there isn't more interest in that area.  
Aside from memory usage, it also uses cache space which turns into general 
performance.  So any program with a lot of pointers would probably speed up.  
I guess there aren't many programs that both fit in 32 bits and are 
performance critical and use a lot of pointers.
