Hello Franz,

I'm not so sure:  if the 64-bit version also does have more registers
to use, that may give a noticable speedup, since Chest really starves
for registers on the x86 architecture.  Maybe someone should try and
benchmark.  (I dont have access to 64-bit hardware/compiler)

Cheers,
Heiner
