This is true, but I wonder how that balances out for CPU-intensive code given the fact that the compiler has more registers to play with when optimizing for 64-bit. A major problem with the x86 architecture is its pitifully small number of registers, but this limitation has been partially addressed in x86-64. -- ...it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com
