Where did you get the WBEL you used? The only version I see on the 
download page is the i386 version. Or did you install that and build the 
64bit version from source and reinstall, or ??? I've been contemplating 
64 bits, but didn't know there was a 64bit WB available.

Obviously amost any decent Linux will run in 32bit mode, that's not 
interesting. I was planning to wait for the new Intel x86-64 CPU, 
because it has hyperthreading, which in theory will allow faster 
interrupt service.
