Both versions are compared on a 64 bit OS. Yes, I guess that's not very fair, because 32 bit processors tend to clock faster than 64 bit processors (is that true?). So the 32 bit versions could be faster.
Semi off topic: can someone explain to me what the "Lock threads to cores" option means?
If it's enabled, I've got two of my four cores working at near 100%. So the temperature of these cores go up to about 75°C.
If it's disabled, all cores are working with about 50% and the temperature stays at 65°C in all cores. (Measured with CoreTemp)
Considering the temperature and the fact that 100% usage make me nervous, I'd like to leave it disabled. Is there a serious drawback with that?
