Out of curiosity, what convinces you to keep using Vuescan
rather than getting
SANE to talk to your scanner, providing an open source
derived set of drivers?

I'm going to get a new desktop at work and was wondering whether it's worth
moving to 64-bit.
I confess that I still dual boot 32-bit for one legacy application:
Vuescan. But with enough tinkering with ia32-lib or VirtualBox, I bet I
could get it to work. It used to work on 64-bit Intrepid.
on x86_64 is that a python issue or a variable size issue ?

Memory footprint. For instance, bzr memory use under 32-bit builds of
python is less than half that of the same workload on 64-bit
The lesson here may be not to use python :)

flash works perfectly (linux vs windows aside) in 64bit and has done for

by default the gpl flash is installed, youll just need to install the

selected as your flash plugin.
