Seems intuitively obvious to me. Bitmaps seem to suffer _no_ performance penalty on X86 with 32 bits, compared to 0x88. Seems intuitively obvious to me that they will pick up speed on a machine that does 64 bit operations. Bruce and I did this comparison when he used the alpha in the WMCCC (1997 I think). He re-compiled ferret for the alpha, did the same for Crafty. My speed improvement was significantly better than his on the _same_ machine. Because of the 64 bit stuff. His program didn't need any 64 bit stuff so it was wasted... Best "proof" is to try it. I have...
