curaga:
Base & extensions will stay 32-bit for the time being. The kernel already brings most benefits (ie. large amounts of ram). If someone needs to build a 64-bit app for speed reasons or whatever, the runtime libs are available separate from toolchain64.

I'm not an expert 32 vs. 34 bit but recall few articles explaining cases when 64 bit apps run slower than 32 bit. Just a thought.

That's exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks!

I discovered a case of the exact opposite: if your code does heavy float calculations you'll get ~50%(!) speed gain on the same machine. I tried it with oggenc.

I thought I understood the apps audit tool but maybe not. See the attached pic. The OnDemand part of the tool seems to be out of sync with the ".OnDemand" directory in /home/tc.

edit: I deleted the x11vnc entry out of .OnDemand and rebooted and now I get different results. See the second pic.

One has nothing to do with the other. Any currently uninstalled extension, at the time of script invocation, is shown as available for select for ondemand.
