I'm sorry, Jim, but I don't understand this comment. Any application, on any platform, 31-bit or 64-bit, requires dedication of resources to get "full power" from the application. The more resources you give it, the "better" it runs. True of PCs. True of LPARs. True of guests on z/VM. I will not argue that sometimes the level of "better" you are looking for (after considering the price/performance trade-offs) may come only from LPAR, but I maintain that's not a characteristic particular only to 64-bit apps.
