Hi!

I was also thinking about x64 php.
Guys, you said that 64 bit PHP is slightly slower than 32 bit, but there 
might be areas where x64 will be faster. Let's imagine site basing on 
image or video processing. That kind of site could take advantage of x64.

Lester gave us a link to unofficial x64 PHP, so compilation is possible. 
Maybe it is a time to start publishing x64 alpha versions of PHP, 
collect bugs information and so on.
