AW: [ltp] How much performance improvement going from 32-bit to 64-bit linux?

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

I run 64-bit on Kubunto 9.04 since one year, no big issues, i cannot compare speed as i started out with 64-bit. 

installing skype required some manual steps to get required 32-bit libraries (well documented in some howtos). 

and the tool pstack is not available on 64-bit, i am missing this sometimes when looking why applications are crasching.

cheers...Dominik

Hey all,

I've recently upgraded to a T60 running a Core 2 Duo T7600 Mobile
Processor (2.33 ghz), lots of RAM and a 7200rpm HD. I am currently
running openSuse 11.1, 32-bit.

I am thinking about installing 64-bit openSuse 11.2 when it is released
in November.

Does anyone have any experience with moving from 32-bit linux OS to
64-bit? 

What kind of performance increase will I see? 

What kind of problems will I have?

Thanks.
