Hi I'm a bit confused about the performance difference between FreeBSD-amd64 and FreeBSD-i386. On my machine runs FreeBSD-STABLE-amd64 and FreeBSD-STABLE-i386 built from the same source (4.Feb 2005). Kernel-config and installed ports of both installations are (nearly) identical. No Ports were installed before upgrading to STABLE. Now, on both installations xorg-6.8.1, XFCE4.2, firefox-1.0 and gvim-gtk2 are installed. When my box is running in amd64-Mode, the letters of a document edited in gvim-gtk2 need about a second to appear again after a alt-tab-switch to gvim. The system-load grows up to 20-60% until the whole document is visible again. The same effect occurs, if i alt-tab to another gtk-2 based editor e.g. leafpad, but not, when using a gtk1-based editor (gvim-gtk1 for example). On the i386-installaition i can't see this phenomenon. The ports/system are built with the same CFLAGS (-O -pipe) and identical configurations in /etc/make.conf. Any hints?
