Empirically... postgresql built for 64 bits is marginally slower than
that built
for a 32 bit api on sparc. None of my customers have found 64 bit x86
systems to be suitable for production use, yet, so I've not tested on any
of those architectures.
Really? All of our customers are migrating to Opteron and I have many
that have been using Opteron for over 12 months happily.
