New Windows x64 apps deployed
Building on the work of Dan_Ee (http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=18043), I have compiled and deployed new Windows x64 apps. These are 50% to 100% faster than the 32-bit apps depending on your processor. Please let me know if you encounter problems.

Wow!! 50% to 100% faster??? :shocked:

They must have dived into the assembly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language) code of the application and removed all the WAIT (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/816-1323/instructionset-57/index.html) instructions that compilers introduce. :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Just kidding! :icon_razz: But that is awesome news indeed. :)
