No, it's not only for clusters. It's for splat in general and still applies
to R55. From the R55 release notes page 57
9) For better usage of memory on machines with more than 512MB of memory,
add the following configuration settings to /etc/fw.boot/modules/fwkern.conf
and then reboot the machine:
fw_hmem_use_alternate_malloc=1
fw_smem_use_alternate_malloc=1
Do not assign more than 1700MB to the Maximum memory pool size (it is set in
the Capacity Optimization tab of the module's object in SmartDashboard).
