IIRC the "natural" and faster int for X86-64 is 32, 64 bits needs a
prefix and is sometimes slower ( think DIV/IDIV ).

So, not a trick. The trick was *ix programmers assuming everywhere
pointer and int round trip (been there, done that, patched it to int
typedefs, std now, compiler specific back then ).
