I don't have any real experience with 32bit Linux machines with more than 2GB of memory, so your knowledge in this area is gospel. The specs said it could, but I didn't realize it was a hack.

I do have more experience with 32/64bit Unix machines, and found that most 64bit applications (including Perl) required more than twice the real memory as on a 32bit Unix. Now, I haven't checked this in quite a while, so I'll have to revisit that. It could have been the 64bit version of the compiler or something else. I will be installing an IBM power 7 p-series p740 with 128GB in January. I will try some benchmarks and let you know. Power 7 is only 64bit.

Thank you
