Subject: Re: [Red5] 64bit red5

Larry,

This is a very interesting question as I'd like to test Red5 on my MacPro.

What, if any, are the advantages/disadvantages of a Xeon 8-Core running at 3.2 Ghz, with 32GB of Memory (which I have), and the new NEHALEM MacPro that Apple released after the release of "The fastest Mac in the Planet" they sold me just a few months earlier.  I've never had an issue with Apple until this.  It appears they are Tied to the Hip now with INTEL's constant plans for all these new processors, and like the iPhone that got charged $499 and sold later for $299 then Apple provided rebates, they won't budget a bit for someone spending $26,000 on a MacPro Server, and then a few months later releasing what they again titled "The fastest Mac on the Planet".

Seems in t he Consumers interest that, if I buy, for the Purpose of a Java Server and other Mac OS X capabilities that I may use for RED5 as a Dedicated Server, that If I purchase "The fastest Mac on the Planet on the day it's released, and 8 months later they announced "The fastest Mac on the Planet" that it's unreasonable for them not to have a Customer Policy of those spending over $25k (or some standard) and tell them, look wait a few MONTHS.

This is a hot debate because it's one thing to buy a computer late it it's season and have it outdated, and it's also true that every 2-3 years once can expect their investment to depreciate.

But to depreciate by a factor of no less than 2.7x Speed, what's that all about?

Are there any Advantages to running RED5 on a 8-Core Xeon versus a NEHALEM ???

And does anybody know how to get a Highspeed Connection from out of a Studio Apartement (that would really save some costs, I hope; at least for experimental reasons; HUGHS.NET is that real or Overhyped).

64-bits on its surface doesn't add much - just more available memory space,
and native 64-bit arithmetic (so, if you use lots of longs and doubles, things
will be a bit faster).  

However, the x86-64 architecture also adds a bunch of registers to the
platform compared to the previous x86 chips, as well as a few new instructions
(SSE2/3).  These all make for a modest speed boost even at the same clock
speed.

My experience is that if you upgrade the OS from 32-bit to 64-bit, you will
see a small performance improvement, but not huge.

From your experience what benefits (if any) are there in running red5 on a

64 bit machine vs a 32 bit? I have always worked in 32 bit architectures

and I'm curious as to the experience of those running it on 64 bit

machines? Thanks.
