InnoDB now supports up to 64 GB of buffer
            pool memory in a Windows 32-bit Intel computer. This is
            possible because InnoDB can use the AWE
            extension of Windows to address memory over the 4 GB limit
            of a 32-bit process. A new startup variable
            innodb_buffer_pool_awe_mem_mb enables AWE
            and sets the size of the buffer pool in megabytes.
          
            Reduced the size of buffer headers and the lock table.
            InnoDB uses 2 % less memory.
