Yes, there is a reason.
We do not support x64 binaries yet, for php itself and many libs used
by PHP. Some argues that it is safe. Btw, it is not faster to run on
x64 either.
Pierre ... please do not continue that statement without any evidence. ALL of
the benchmarks I've run on an identical hardware base with 64 bit Windows7 show
at least a 10% faster performance using a 64bit build of PHP. Speed improvements
are even more when all of the elements of the stack are 64bit, but even just
running 64bit PHP has an improvement. It would probably be useful to benchmark
32bit windows on the same hardware, but I don't have time to do that and the
machine was supplied with a 64bit W7, so I dn't hame a 32bit version of W7.
Of cause running 64bit Linux on the same hardware is at least 3 times faster
than the windows setup, and the machine is now just running Linux.
