I tried this on linux some years ago and got maybe 15% faster execution in 64 bits than 32 (on the same 64 bit machine). I didn't think to report that since by default Pd always runs 64 bit if the underlying linux does.

Just FYI.
I just heard back from Rand Steiger who tried out a big patch in both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Pd on Macintosh - 64 bits came out substantially faster. So if you've got a 64 bit machine, I think you're going to want the 64 bit Pd, unless you have old externs that can't load into it.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Is this something specific to macs or was this just chance? Are there any other 'benchmarks' for linux?
