Re: [arch-general] аrch x86_64 and i686 performance comparison
I find the 64 bit version to be on par with the 32 bit version. I do think
64 bit is faster when using it for GIS with large datasets. I have been
using 64 bit for years without remorse. Now, no 64 bit Windows OS has ever
been worth using.

Better to install both Arch 32-bit and 64-bit on the same machine > (dual boot) and run the tests... I've already did it.
from my personal experience certain operations, such as video/music > encoding, is a _lot_ faster... Well, in my ThinkPad R61 (Core2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz) I got 1.1 times difference (in favour of 64-bit) with couple of videofiles encoded. (By the way, it means that VM performs almost 1.5 worse then the real HW).
Thanks, Sergey
