Adobe Flash 64 bit 10.1!!!

[MrMatt]

i've had alot less trouble with haxors with 64bit ie in protected mode. i wonder how the flash integration will affect this?

what kinds of sites are you visiting that you're having issues with people hacking you?

Because if FF was 64 bit it could bleed more than 4 gigs of your ram

I been able to get Opera to use way over 1.5 GB of ram and I was so happy! Mainly because it still did not slow down my system! Sadly Firefox does for some odd reason I think it is mainly do to cpu usage but not sure. Doesn't matter I can't leave Firefox. Oh how bad I want to go to Opera but can't. Guess my only solution is to either use both or deal with the stuff Opera does not have. I can't do the second option though. If I didn't know what I was missing out on maybe but otherwise no. It is to late now. God dawn you add ons! Why did I ever have to discover them! Firefox forever even if it means using another browser along side it! Nothing wrong with using more than one browser is there ?

I'm pretty sure I've seen benchmarks where 64 bit firefox was around 25% faster than 32 bit firefox in many circumstances.

Which likely affect <1% of users. Benchmarks are good for finding regressions, but are largely useless for simulating real-world usage patterns. Why do I care if a JavaScript app runs 10,000 times in 10sec? As long as the web page renders quickly and the app works I couldn't care less.

If you were the type of person that browsed with a ton of tabs open, you probably would actually notice a nice boost from a 64 bit browser.

I'm actually surprised that Mozilla doesn't list the 64 bit Firefox builds on their main download page.

I don't see any reason why a lot of tabs equates to better performance. Unless you somehow manage to shatter the 2GB user space barrier in which a program would crash in a non PAE 32-bit environment, I don't see any reason why 64-bit would help with a lot of tabs open.

So you've had your browser use >2G of VM? I know I sure haven't and I do browse with a lot of tabs. And with browsers moving to a process-per-tab model it matters even less since each tab will have it's own VM.

I couldn't imagine how many tabs it would take to use >2GB. Just yesterday I had 19 tabs open in Opera (64bit), with well over 100 closed tabs, in a session that was open more than 24 hours, and it was only using ~700MB total. I'm sure it's possible, I just can't imagine it.

FWIW, I do have 64-bit Flash installed now, and it's not any better than the 32-bit version was.
