[Opensim-dev] General status of OpenSim on 64 bit Linux Architecture

[Nebadon Izumi]

Well i don't want to give the impression that no one is using OpenSim in a
64 bit environment, i just don't think at this time there is much advantage
in doing so.  I think in the future we will see more demand for 64 bit in
OpenSimulator, its just right now opensim doesnt do well consuming large
amounts of ram on either Windows or in Linux using mono.   And just because
it runs in 64 bit mode, doesnt mean its actually running better cause it can
now access more amounts of memory, in my expereince if your OpenSimulator is
in need ot 64 bit memory access your either doing something extremely
specialized, or something is very very wrong.  In either case i was simply
trying to say that the extra issues you could come accross probably wont
bring you any benefit over going 32 bit at this point of development.
