Hi Blues,
One very interesting findings,
My colleagues and I did some testing from 2007 Dec to
2008 Feb. And come to below conclusion.
Why is this important to bluequartz?
We need to squeeze our H/W to multi-tenant more customers.
32 bits OS and 32 bits application give us the max economical throughput
the tradeoff is speed.
*********************************************************
Although 64 bits OS give better performance in speed.
ie: spamassassin will benefit
But
32 bits OS actual give a higher number of concurrency
eg: httpd, sendmail, etc
compared to 64 bits OS, given the same H/W spec.
The reason might be 32 bits OS and 32 bits application
have a smaller resource footprint.
