Are 64-bit Binaries Slower than 32-bit Binaries?
JigSaw writes "The modern dogma is that 32-bit applications are faster, and that 64-bit imposes a performance penalty. Tony Bourke decided to run a few of tests on his SPARC to see if indeed 64-bit binaries ran slower than 32-bit binaries, and what the actual performance disparity would ultimately be."
a first post for me...
Ye gads! If they can't spell, I'm starting a revolution!

That has to be the most stupidest compiler test I've ever read.
And it's not the number of bits that is important: it's the size of them.

You're new here, aren't you?
ok, ok, sorry, had to be done...
dman lysdexia,
I thought maybe if I held onto Doc Brown's Flux Crapacitor while jogging, that I could time travel faster WITHOUT needing that big aluminum disgrace of a screendoor we call a Delorian.
In my tests, I found that time travel occurred faster on foot than in a Delorian! Even better than running with the Flux Capacitor, jogging in place is even faster! And you know what else is faster to time travel than both the Delorian and two placid legs? That's right, I sat in a recliner and with a TV Remote went around the world in 60 minutes and was back in the confines of my house quicker than any other means.
And the text I wrote above, I uhm wrote it yesterday and it appeared today because I can time travel faster than even Slashdot! So hah!
art tatum? shouldn't you be dead or something?
