Erhm, but no. And it's not about performance issues either. Or NTkernel...
Have a look in this thread, post 14 and 15:

SH4 can max. address 1.65 GB. Trying for more = CTD (as loading OM Museum).
A patched SH4.exe loads OM Museum fine and use 2.21GB...
A noticable find is that the memory overhead in SH4 is actually very small, 80-160MB, which you don't need that much traffic to use.
And I've feedbacks from many users that confirms their SH4 doesn't crash anymore after applying the patch.
The LAA-patching simply allows a 32-bit program to be aware of memory above the 2GB barrier. The patching itself is only a bit being set to "1" in SH4.exe
"This is an application that assists in making applications large address aware. When a 32-bit application is Large Address Aware, it can access up to 4 GiB on x64 operating systems and up to 3 GiB on x86." Source:
