Ehsan, did you forget that there would be no memory problem with 64-bits MSVC PGO builds ?

The trouble with going 64-bits is that the jit would then see some significant regression, for cache pressure/instruction set related reasons (ie gcc won't do it any better, probably worse)
This would be great, except for the fact that Microsoft's 64-bit toolchain is even buggier. You cannot currently do a 64-bit PGO build of Firefox without hitting an internal compiler error:
