Probably not.  I wouldn't encourage people to use it: it increases the
memory usage of Emacs (and hence slows it down by eating up your caches
more quickly), but only increases the maximum buffer size by a fairly
small amount.

If you bump into the 512MB limit, you're better off either using vlf.el
or using a 64bit build of Emacs (e.g. the one that comes with Ubuntu in
the amd64 version of Ubuntu).
