64bit arch is faster on floating point operations, not on integer, so  
that won't help much. If you have large amounts of memory (>1GB and  
especially >4GB), memory addressing will be faster with 64bit. As Timo  
noted, I/O is likely to be the bottleneck anyway, so add a bunch of  
memory for caching.

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres  
intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å  
unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de  
fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
