Hello guys, I run IronPython on Vista x64. Isn't 64bit supposed to be the future or something? :-) (I run Vista x64 in a virtual machine under Mac OS - but performance is very good. Visual Studio runs quite nicely.)
I'd love to see more IronPython benchmarking (and the results published). Do you still benchmark with XP? (Still a phenomenally successful OS by all accounts). I'm not sure what the consequences of removing 64bit OSes from the benchmarks might be - .NET seems to nicely insulate programmers from the differences, except for things like P/Invoke of course. Performance is one area where it might make a difference though (it would be a shame to accidentally hose performance on 64bit machines and not realise - is this likely?) What about releasing the benchmark suite with a means to submit results including platform information - that way we can submit results back to you? (By email to the list I guess.) We could even setup some external 'buildbot' machines that automatically sync to codeplex. Anyway - I'd be happy to run benchmark suites occasionally.
