Or is it just misunderstanding arising from 64 bit using twice as many CPU registers to increase its own speed? On the contrary. Having more registers makes the program possibly running faster. Completely independent from memory usage.
This is completely dependent on the compiler and huge if-but-maybe situation.
Much as you seem to enjoy it, your trips down memory lane in response to every post are not at all helpful or on-point. Yes of course it depends on the compiler, but So What? Compilers are optimized for architectures. Have been since the late Pleistocene. First versions of the compiler for new architectures are sub-optimum, just enough to make it work, but because compilers are pretty much table driven these days, subsequent releases are able to wring out the best performance the particular chipset can deliver. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
