I think Jeremy's question was due to trying to reduce the 32/64-bit differences. Performance-wise, it might add a small amount to user setup time (a typical 32-bit process will need all four, for the main binary, libraries, stack and kernel, respectively)
With the new top down mmap layout and standard 3:1 split it should typically only need two.

Well, three with the kernel.

I didn't count kernel because it is always fixed anyways and about zero
overhead for the normal setup case.


Of course, but it was in the original list so...
