I think there are more questions to answer. One is the one you just answered,
which is how much of a speedup we can from the 64-bit compilation alone. Another
is how much of a speedup we get from the Opteron's hardware (ex. 32-bit Athlon
vs. 64-bit Athlon/Opteron).

Another is how much of a speedup non-bitboard programs will get from the 64-bit
hardware and 64-bit compilation. Maybe someone could compile some non-bitboard
programs. I guess even TSCP's bench command might give us some answers.

One question I have is, does the 32-bit gcc compilation on 64-bit hardware still
take advantage of all 16 general purpose registers? Or does it compile it for a
32-bit executable you could run on a 32-bit CPU?
