Having just switched from a 32 bit kernel and apps to a 64 bit kernel and
apps on the same hardware (Core 2 Duo E6600) that the machine seemed a bit
more responsive than previously. I wasn't looking for an improvement,
just noticed that it was all a bit "snappier" than before. Apps load a
little faster, machine seems a little more responsive.
This was totally unexpected, but a nice surprise.
Regards,
Langdon
