Hmm - that appears to be negligible if not within the bounds of statistical error. However, you're right - a small bump in speed.
A Quick Aside: Benchmarking the diff routines on my app (Changes - http://changesapp.com/) showed a 10-15% performance increase going from 32-bit i386 to 64- bit x86-64. I'm pretty sure that this is due to vast architectural improvements in x86-64 vs. i386 (more GPRs, etc.). Unfortunately, due to bugs in 64-bit Cocoa, I can't ship a 64-bit binary. The results of benchmarking 32-bit ppc to 64-bit ppc64 showed a negligible/non- existent improvement. This app was implemented using C/C++ and ObjC. - Ian On Jan 20, 2008, at 1:16 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Ian> It would be interesting to see if that held up on ppc64.
