This may be an antiquated topic, but I'm still a little fuzzy on this 64bit vs
32bit thing when it comes to performance. I know that 32 bit operating systems
and software can run faster than the 64 bit OS and software in certain
environments. However, I'm curious if a Postgres server handling dbmail would
qualify as one of those faster on 32 bit, or on 64 bit.
I do see in the Postgres Solaris FAQ:
"And on other hand,32-bit code on the AMD64 CPU family is not native, and
that is why 32-bit code is significant slower on this CPU family."
I guess if my processor ends up being either an Opteron or modern Xeon that
would settle this.. . . . But if someone has a very firm understanding of this
that could confirm, that would be appreciated.
