The same here. Thunderbird is running for 3 hours and use 216 MB virtual memory size/ 90 MB resident set size. I am subscribing to Debian, Centos, SecurityFocus and RHEL mailing lists. Nothing special. In 64-bit mode I wouldn't be surprised if the same usage would come out to 500MB+ memory usage. Again why? Of course if you have enough memory not to care to set aside half a gig to your e-mail client then go for it. nate cheers Simon -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHxdeFEMN/lNE/wrwRAsPNAKCGak82jNYu7T+4/cv5asS9UWaj0QCfTVGV HDbm07TPub5ev64DjNRQnsk= =JqB+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I don't mean to imply that it's certain to use 2-3x more memory, but in my experience it appears that 64-bit apps use much more memory than 32-bit. I've read they can use up to 2x more memory, but clearly in some cases it can go way beyond 2x. It's just not worth it for most things. I tried migrating a web server that runs Ruby on Rails/FastCGI from 32-bit to 64-bit and experienced a 300% increase in memory utilization and about a 75% reduction in performance. (before that my goal was to try to make everything 64-bit to make it easier to manage). nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
