You do realize that first, 64-bit CPU designers made sure their CPUs can run "legacy" 32-bit code as fast as "native" 64-bit code -- otherwise nobody's gonna buy it; then, people figured that all you get from using 64-bit applications on a 64-bit machine is waste of RAM and hard drive space: double the size of the binary, no speed advantage. There are many cases where 64 bits are useful, but I don't see how web browsers fit into this category just now. Maybe when Internet3 goes online and all the webpages grow over 2GB in size... So what exactly are you going to learn from 64-bit Browser use Report? -- how many people out there have too much RAM and disk space?
