I made some tests on i386 and amd64 system with my new hardware, and got =
interesting results..
benchmarked with sysbench
on i386 the test was done in 47seconds, then checked on amd64 and got =
incredible results!!
!!!23sec!!!
awesome, it worth to reinstall the whole system :)
double performance!

Huge performance advantage and difference between i386 and amd64 =
kernel. i386 is 32-bit and amd64 is obviously 64-bit, but from my =
tests, the difference in performance is big - like night and day.
In fact, this is why I'm not so versed in the Intel world - I =
typically only use AMD processors and love them.=20
I have had some issues with amd64 and IPSec - this was with versions =
5.4 and 6.0, so I'm unclear if all of those issues have been resolved. =
If you're not using IPSec though, you won't have any other problems.
AMD64 is pretty gosh darn fast...

thanks, that was impressive :)
i have only one question left:
can i have any performance advantage from amd64 kernel compared to =
i386?
does it worth to start again from scratch?
thanks!
