Comment (by waddlesplash):
@Luposian: the only benefits that an x86_64 Haiku build provides are 1.
support for all registers & instructions of x86_64 processors, and 2.
allowing individual apps to use > 2GB of memory.
Currently, the only thing that really takes advantage of x86_64 is (AFAIK)
FFmpeg and maybe JavaScriptCore's JIT, so unless you're working with
videos (a lot) or playing HTML5 games, you probably won't notice the
performance difference over GCC2[hybrid]. That's my experience anyway.
