64 bit benchmarks

[Federico Lucifredi]

Hello Computing Performance,
Ran into this deck recently, and although it is a bit dated, it has
nice benchmarks and micro-benchmarks comparing 32bit and 64bit x86
architecture performance.

Slide 11 has a nice acknowledgement of SUSE's work on GCC enablement
(remember, this is 2008) that I am sure will be appreciated by several
of you on the list :)

Best -Federico
