That's not what our tests tells. Just swaping operating system build for amd64 gives some 10% ~ 15% gain. It's a gain that enables inserting a small site into the same box. I like to do my own tests, so I ignore the published ones. But a quick google search shows the same I stated above: http://www.scribd.com/doc/363677/Benchmarks-AMD64-in-32bit-mode-vs-64bit-mode-Ubuntu But how I told, we have real world fact with LAMP + cakePHP, and not with Linux+(cherokee, apache)+Mysql+(django, pylons) etc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
