I asked them about the architecture independence point actually...
Here's the reply they gave:
"We did look into making the database and backup files binary
compatible across different endian platforms a while back.
We concluded that the implementation would be "very" non-trivial and
introduce a performance hit on one platform due
to a large amount of byte swapping. But since the PPC platform is
dead the advantage gained by this feature will diminish.
Therefore putting the required manpower into this does not make much
since."
I used this as an excuse to get everyone in WebServices at PACE
upgraded to Intel, since that's what production runs on.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
