that's not the point. 
The point is, 64bit OS + apps vs 32bit OS + apps (on an AMD64 arch, of 
course).
Since we still have a bit of - ahem - issues with 64bits, I'd like to
know if those on 64bit OS + apps have made such choice for perfomance
or any other real needs (crm114-related or not), or just for fun. And
then, if the case applies, what's the performance gain/loss.

BTW it's neither obsolete on the hw side: current desktops/portables are
64bit, but current (smart)phones/PDA are mostly 32bits and well capable 
of doing stuff you could have done only on a pc just a few years ago. 
crm114's super speedy HS, with it's small cssfile size and just 4k 
decision length is well suitable for local msg/doc processing.
