No matter how much hand-flapping you do, you made the original statement.
Eugene supplied data that showed that clock for clock, the Itanium was 50%
faster with Crafty.  Nothing more, nothing less.  No flappety-flap either.

flappety-flap.

Who cares.  You said something that was simply shown to be wrong.

"can not have contributed -> flappety flap."

One of these days, I will have access to an opteron where I can do a 32 bit and
64 bit compile with _everything_ else constant.  Then we will _really_ know what
32 -> 64 bit gives.  It will be more than "a few %".
