Whose use case is very different than GIMP's. And you do use the typical
APIs, but the user does have to setup the shmfs on their own. And then
you have to select between the shm segments yourself.
shm is a special case. I'm talking about allocating highmem segments.
It's a whole bunch of contortions, and all pointless since amd64 hardware is competitively priced these days.

I've tried GIMPing a 6 GB image on a 64-bit platform (8 GB of ram) and it handles it just fine.
Duh, my Dual Opteron has only 1 GB at the moment... ;)
Servus,
