Some more extensive testing is of course required, but it would seem that gains can be had from both going 64 bit and using PGO. I encourage you to take a look at the PGO build process. It is much simpler than before. I also think we ought to find out if we could start producing a proper vc8 build, setting up a buildbot, etc. I can probably convince management at CCP to arrange for one.

When you are ready to operate a buildbot, just let me know.

We could also think about a way to have the 64 bit and 32 bit versions coexist on the same machine.

Please, no. This will complicate things very much for everybody, for the sake of a few elitist users who think they have a use case. Regards, Martin
