Ahh, sorry, didn't mean to replicate a discussion you had on the dev list :-) > Some will certainly dissagree there and point out that a MySQLd optimized for > 64-bit outperforms a 32-bit MySQLd, or will point to the more efficient memory > management (PAE hacks no longer needed!) and pipelining in a 64-bit kernel. > Which are all valid points.

As I understand it, even with PAE each application can't use over 3GB RAM. I imagine this could be a bottleneck as servers get bigger. > All in all it will be wise to have both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of > BlueOnyx so that people can choose the one they need or want.
