The advantage is that you can link it with programs and libraries that are built in 64 bit mode for their own reasons. Unless you have unfeasibly huge JS programs there is no advantage for V8 itself. In fact it makes it slightly slower. -- Erik Corry, Software Engineer Google Denmark ApS. CVR nr. 28 86 69 84 c/o Philip & Partners, 7 Vognmagergade, P.O.
