ALL of the benchmarks I've run on an identical hardware base with 64 bit Windows7 show at least a 10% faster performance using a 64bit build of PHP. Speed improvements are even more when all of the elements of the stack are 64bit, but even just running 64bit PHP has an improvement. It would probably be useful to benchmark 32bit windows on the same hardware, but I don't have time to do that and the machine was supplied with a 64bit W7, so I dn't hame a 32bit version of W7. Of cause running 64bit Linux on the same hardware is at least 3 times faster than the windows setup, and the machine is now just running Linux. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
