To the disdain of some, I am a big believer in NEVER using the stock kernel. Anecdotally, many people realize performance improvements by compiling their own kernel with the specific processor and eliminating the 4gb4gb split.
I am not sure how much difference in performance you will see from the recompile for your processor....
And FYI, from the changelog for the most recent FC2 kernel-2.6.9-1.11_FC2:

- Drop 4g/4g patch completely.
And from the announcement:
A large change over previous kernels has been made. The 4G:4G memory split patch has been dropped, and Fedora kernels now revert back to the upstream 3G:1G kernel/userspace split.
