not quite

it means swap page sizes on modern pcs (W7) can be increased, improving speed. The current bottleneck is this, not cpu with the advent of quad core etc. Speed becomes disc & data transfer bound rather than cpu bound at the mo, means we will be able to do more faster when it is somewhat relieved byt this change. Happened on mainframes years ago, so just following in their footsteps. NB this pc has more proceesing power than the first mainframe I worked on
