[BALUG-Talk] performance issues with using 32bit kernel on 64bit processor

[Clayton Kramer]

Raj,

I recently began switching our office over to Debian/Ubuntu AMD64 and so 
far have only noticed overall performance gain.  Several of the now 
64bit servers are hosting VMware Server 1.04 which is a 32-bit 
application.  The VM themselves are not individually running any faster 
but as a group the host OS is more efficient.

I recommend examining your 32bit application's leading stress points 
such as CPU, memory, and disk IO usage.  Also make sure you load the 
ia32-libs for any 32bit software needs.
