The big advantage that 64 bit gives is more memory access , 32 bit has access to 2 GBs of memory. Even in memory its not such a big deal because you can launch multiple instances of pharo and take advantage of your entire memory , the advantage also doing like this is that will give you the ability to run pharo on multiple cores something that a 64 bit VM by itself cannot do anyway, pharo / python / ruby etc.
I never heard of this disadvantage of 64 bits before. Are you basically saing you can't run multiple instances of a 64-bit VM/Image on a multicore machine? Can you elaborate? Joachim
