Running all 64bit including the database, I'm seeing a reasonable performance 
improvement over a pure 32 bit set-up on the same AMD 64bit hardware using 64bit 
vista order of 10 to 15% faster. It was also worth pointing out that the same 
hardware runs a good 50% faster again on a 64bit Linux OS. I think this shows 
that the OS is the problem rather than the 64bit software, but the Linux OS does 
seem to use the multiple cores more efficiently. I've not tested both with a 64 
bit version of Windows7, the full 64bit setup installed and ran, so I've not 
bothered swapping to all 32bit.
