Eric, I had always thought 90% of the advantage of x86_64 was the extra registers in EMT64. Actuallythe only gripe I have with Apple's transient to Intel is that they didn't junk the i386 model andonly use chips that could do EMT64 so we would always have those extra registers.
No disagreement, however, Brad was talking about ppc64. -eric
