I don't at all "get" this statement. Why? Because fP has built-in
hardwired limits on things that don't even reach 32bit values, as it is.
What do you figure you'd gain by having a 64bit fP? The file size
limitations were already raised to 64bit levels, and that's the only
thing that makes much difference in fP. I mean, c'mon, the maximum dummy
variable size is (32KB - 1 byte). When you already have 64bit storage
limits on disk, what's the gain in recompiling fP as native 64bit when we
have all these wacky, [now] arbitrary, legacy internal limitations present?
If you think it'd run faster, you're more than likely incorrect.
