All 32-bit operations are generally faster than 64-bit. If both happen
to have the same performance per clock (that would have to be a
deliberate hw design choice), 32-bit opcodes have likely lower power
consumption, which allows a higher core frequency.
That doesn't even scratch the surface. Expl
Maybe there should be a comment regarding the performance and risk of
change?

Also, I would be very surprised if we could change it without breaking the
universe. I'm sure there are hard-coded 32s various places.

Hi,
I'm new to this list, so sorry if it is not the correct place.
I've started to looked at the source code of mesa and I wonder why in
src/util/bitset.h we have:
#define BITSET_WORD unsigned int
This is as-is since at least 2015, probably 2011.
Would it make sense to have it as a long
