Eric,
I had always thought 90% of the advantage of
x86_64 was the extra registers in EMT64. Actually
the only gripe I have with Apple's transient to
Intel is that they didn't junk the i386 model and
only use chips that could do EMT64 so we would always
have those extra registers.
No disagreement, however, Brad was talking about ppc64.
