I would think so.  Does anyone have benchmarks of a 64-bit
compiled WebStack vs 32-bit equivilents?

I can't imagine anyone who has spent time in the *real* world 
would suggest that the apache 2.2.4 replace the existing 
apache 2.0.x.   They would understand that in many cases, the 
consumer would like to be able to "baseline" their existing
apache 2.0.x install vs a new install which may behave differently 
than they expect. Having to *reload* Apache 2.0.x because 
Apache 2.2.4 didn't work as expected is an undue burden, and 
makes it difficult to do a side by side test.  In the case of
*replacing* apache 2.0.x, a user would require *2* systems to 
baseline, instead of one.

What's wrong with letting the consumer *decide* when to remove 
an obsoleted  version of apache?
