Hello, As written here: http://www.amibroker.com/x64/ it is "a bit faster". The difference in practice is hardly noticeable. What can be 25% faster? Only certain array operations that use SIMD / SSE extensions on 64-bit version and only normal FPU on 32-bit version. That does not however translate to any signficant and noticable speed up.
