I'm not sure how George came up with those numbers, but the ones I
sent are output from that benchmark function in the last email. I'd be
interested in learning this too.

As mentioned in the last email, it looks like potential 32-bit issues
are really just specific to old Intel chips. Other 32-bit
architectures do fine. So, for new kernels, even if somehow there is a
tiny performance regression (though I couldn't see one) on old
architectures, I really doubt it will affect anybody in practice.
