Really?  That seems suspicious to me.  On the same machine, same
hardware, the switch from 32 to 64 is faster?

Stuff I read indicates that 64 bit will be slower.  The benefit is
supposed to be in the ability to handle hardware that has a lot of
RAM.

Just checking, not arguing.

I do have a 64 bit machine and will see about it.  If you tell me
how you build the 64 bit version of Swarm, I will see about it.  I
don't know if blt is supposed to be 64 bit safe.  As you notice, it
appears nobody takes care of blt these days.
