Don't be all in awe here.
Running 32 bit progs on 64 bit chips proves nothing, no matter who does the
test.

Let's wait and see how much faster Hyatt and Eugene can make it, maybe a few
code mods will also help it along.
Whether you intend to or not, you automaticly end up optimizing for the cpu you
develop on. I certainly know I have many kludges because they tested faster, I'm
happily awaiting their removal. :)
