64-bit Linux benchmarks faster

Just a bit faster, but we'll have a lot of gamers and other such
performance nerds here

(This is talking about Linux itself being the 32-bit or 64-bit
version, not whether Wine is set up to run 32-bit or 64-bit binaries.)

I know Dan Kegel has frequently recommended on this list that unless
you really need that much memory, you shouldn't bother with 64-bit.

However - it would be nice to have numbers for Windows programs
running on Wine on a 32-bit or 64-bit Linux. Given the Windows
programs are all 32-bit at this stage.

So. Anyone got a machine they want to dual-boot as 32-bit or 64-bit
Linux, and give us some numbers on how the same Windows programs
perform in the same version of Wine?

It wouldn't exactly be the 'same version', since you'd have it
compiled on different architectures/compilers/libraries/etc.

That said, you'd probably want a more exact benchmark, e.g., 3Dmark or the like.

Well, 64-bit Ubuntu versus 32-bit Ubuntu is a reasonable comparison,
for example.

Some practical app tests would be good too. Gamers would be
interested, for example! (Though that depends too much on binary
drivers.)

This sounds like something Phoronix would do.

Games depend heavily on drivers as well. I meant something that gives
a more overall comparison, complete with a 'score'.
