As already noted, startup times will be longer due to larger code. You can make up for that some by setting sticky bits, at the expense of RAM. I’ll add that video processor is a significant limiting factor. I thought my old computer was always so dreadfully slow because it was a Pentium Classic, until I put a new video card in it. Big difference. Still not as nice as the AMD64, of course. -- Barry.SCHWARTZ at chemoelectric.org http://www.chemoelectric.org Esperantistoj rajtas skribi al Bojo ĉe chemoelectric.org.
