In the full-protection model, each process is given its own private virtual memory, which spans to 2 or 3.5 gigabytes (depending on the CPU). This is accomplished by using the CPU's MMU. The performance cost for a process switch and a message pass will increase due to the increased complexity of obtaining addressability between two completely private address spaces.
Note:
Private memory space starts at 0 on x86 and ARM processors.
