That is a ridiculous statement. Why would a 64-bit port of a game be *slower*? Why would any program be slower if built for the x86_64 platform? That just makes absolutely no sense. I have not done many comparisons, but I know I have seen at least one program get a more than 2x performance boost between 32-bit and 64-bit builds. There is a lot to be gained in moving to 64-bit, with probably the biggest gain being the availability of 16 general purpose registers rather than 8. > 2005/10/21, Rudolf Kastl <che666@xxxxxxxxx>: > > google for doom3 linux faq ;) And what are we supposed to be looking for in this search?
