What would be the main reasoning behind this change? Surely the minimalistic specifications that SystemVMs are assigned suit 32-bit better in terms of Memory?
"The main disadvantage of 64-bit architectures is that, relative to 32-bit architectures, the same data occupies more space in memory (due to longer pointers and possibly other types, and alignment padding). This increases the memory requirements of a given process and can have implications for efficient processor cache utilization."
