Hardened-performance

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?

Never mind, just found this myself:

PAGEEXEC memory protection at no cost whatsoever!"
