James, The mapsever buildbot currently produces 64 bit binaries, you could download the results (for testing purposes) for both platforms using the following links:
http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1080/mapserver/szekerest-vc80x64-full/package/bin.zip http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1080/mapserver/szekerest-vc80-full/package/bin.zip However I`m not sure in that all of the required dependencies have been compiled in. Currently there`s no exact measures about the performance differences but I doubt if the x64 version has significant performance increment. Are you using the mapserver CGI, fast CGI or the scripting interface? Best regards, Tamas 2008/6/16 Léveillé, James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > We've been using MapServer for a while.
