* Although some code may slow down ~10% with longer addresses, use of the
XMM registers greatly speeds up some code as well. Overall, I would expect performance to be about the same based on other benchmarks. Not everyone will be able to run these binaries, but, IE8 on Vista 64 already has these enhancements, and I would hate to see Firefox not have them available.
