When comparing a 64 bits processor (G5 or Opteron) with a 32 bits processor it
is trivial what is going to be faster for *a lot* of applications.

The G5 is a weak design for integer performance when compared to opteron. Just
imagine how fast opteron will be if you see the G5 already so fast at a few
applications!
