Re: [PD] Mac: 64 bits faster than 32

I tried this on linux some years ago and got maybe 15% faster execution in 64 bits than 32 (on the same 64 bit machine). I didn't think to report that since by default Pd always runs 64 bit if the underlying linux does. cheers Miller On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 10:00:50AM +0100, Lorenzo Sutton wrote

Just FYI. I just heard back from Rand Steiger who tried out a big patch in both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Pd on Macintosh - 64 bits came out substantially faster. So if you've got a 64 bit machine, I think you're going to want the 64 bit Pd, unless you have old externs that can't load into it
