If I remember correctly, the 'speedup' of Crafty when running on 64-bit hardware vs. the one of normal programs wasn't remotely close to 40%. (I'm basing this on SPEC results) It's been observed that different pro's got different speedups when SSDF switched from AMD K6 450 to Athlon 1200's as well. The design of the program can benefit or get a penality from a new platform by other effects than just the board representation. -- GCP
