When distros were shipping 64-bit 3.6, it was without a JIT. Many people, including journalists, did not stop to compare 32-bit Firefox against 64-bit Firefox and conclude that 32-bit was faster. Instead, they concluded that 64-bit Chrome and 64-bit Opera were faster than 64-bit Firefox. So you can't really rely on the realizations of Linux users to conclude things about 32-bit Firefox versus 64-bit Firefox. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
