I suppose I'm getting a bit behind the tech curve here, but is there a 
reason to compile to x86_64 other than just to speed things up on the 
already-rediculously-fact 64-bit processors? (or to access more than 4GB of 
ram, but then, how often does anyone need to write an app that needs to do 
that?)
