I would also like some answers. I haven't started using cinelerra for real work 
but my tests show that many operations are single threaded. I'm testing it on a 
Dual Core Athlon 64 3800+ and so far i haven't seen any real SMP use. My other 
computer (my other car is a Porsche kinda thing) is a Dual Dual Core Opteron (4 
logical cpus) and i'm really interested in SMP.

About 64bit, i'd imagine that it only makes a difference if the developers are 
really using the 64bit long processing, otherwise just a 64bit compile won't 
make any real difference. You would notice a difference if you loaded >4GB of 
data in memory from a single file.

I don't believe there are video/audio algorithms optimized for 64bits (except 
lame, the mp3 encoder that has some assembly optimizations).
