[gentoo-performance] Hardened-performance

[Florian Philipp]

Hi list!

Can anyone tell me if using a hardened-profile has any performance
implications?

To be more specific:

I use an AMD64 X2 for realtime video encoding and some network services
and the company I work for uses some of their (Intranet web and
file) servers for high performance computing. Would using stuff like
PaX reduce, for example, memory allocation, memory access and
context switching?
