My results from running 32/64 rendering to disk:

sr=44100
ksmps=1
nchnls=2

csound32:
Elapsed time at end of performance: real: 483.722s, CPU: 411.420s

csound64:
Elapsed time at end of performance: real: 481.068s, CPU: 431.810s


The difference of 20 seconds is not so bad for this piece I think.  I
tried rendering to dac with ksmps=16 and noticed some breakups in 64
that aren't there in 32, but I actually may be more prone to use 64
for dac and disk for smaller pieces now that I've done this test.  But
for the pieces with larger number of instruments, I am still planning
to use 32 for dac and 64 for disk as just the little bit helps.

BTW: I am on a Thinkpad T42 Laptop with PIII-M 1.7ghz, 1 gig ram.
