..or, if it really is important for you, why not set up a test and benchmark it?
I have no idea if or when amd64 would have surpassed i386 in performance, and if it is better how much better. But if this was an important topic worthy of the science, then by all means do test it on your particular hardware and present the results. I do tend to agree with the comments already posted so I won't repeat them, but if +/-5% is seriously interesting enough for people to keep remembering and asking for, then it surely would be worth making a small effort too, no? 2015-05-26 0:42 GMT+02:00 Bill Buhler <b...@buhlerfamily.org>: > I'm preparing a new flash image for an Intel Atom dual core based router > with 2gb of ram.
