Maybe when it's easier, I'll switch Well, 64-bit mode also enables other architecture improvements, mostly more and bigger registers. This is of course partly offset by more data movement due to longer pointers. Usually people quote 5-10% speed increase for 64-bit applications on a 64-bit platform vs. 32-bits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
