64-bit performance
Are 64-bit applications faster? Better? Just bigger? Or even slower?
It depends. There seems to be a bit of chatter out on the net, but much of it Intel or Windows specific.
Olof has actually done a bit of research and has some numbers. Google should remember his paper, “A look at 64- versus 32-bit userspace performance” and his slides from LCA 2006.
