Milo, BlackMagicGuy wrote "first tests indicate that binaries compiled for x86-64 64-bit targets exhibit a 15% increase in performance for a 5% increase in code size" When AMD first released the x86-64 specification, they said that their tests showed a 10% increase in code size. I claim this difference may very well show the x86-64 compilers getting better. I would not be surprised in the slightest to see the difference down to 0% in 12 months. I would also expect to see another few percent in average speed increases. Mike
