I multiplied by 1.1 to get the approximate performance of an Athlon 64 @ 2.2GHz,
then took the 64-bit average and compared with the 32-bit numbers. It looks like
the hardware alone gives very nice speedups for some things, but only marginal
for others (including 32-bit Crafty). It makes sense that Crafty would get an
additional bigger boost than most programs from 64-bit compilation.
