I have noticed no knock-on effects whatsoever, and the horrendous stuttering I was occasionally getting with FM's Interior mod has now disappeared!
Correct me if I am wrong, but I got impression the patch only affects exes upon which it has been applied for as long as they are being run. The OS reverting to the usual memory allocations thereafter.
Certainly I have not noticed any problems with other applications that I have run after exiting programs upon which it has been employed.

The patch itself, for what I can gather, isn't the problem, it's messing with XP's boot.ini that causes problems.
My advice was based on what I had read, and understood. The manual for the patch says 64bit systems, Reece says don't use it, a whole thread says don't use it!
All I know is that on my system Win7 64bit before I installed it SH3 would CTD, after it is perfect.
