About highmem in 2.6

Hi,

When I first installed 2.4, someone told me that if I had 1 gb ram it was better to not use highmem because those extra aditional mb was not worth the speed penalty of using the feature.

Sorry for my ignorance (and my sucking english) but must I enable highmem now with 2.6? or have it any speed penalty althought?

Thanks a lot!
