64-bit ARM means passing around 64-bit pointers by default.

In most code settings, this pollutes the cache (you can only hold half as many pointers), and leads to slightly weaker performance.

64-bit computing is NOT an advantage in the phone world. It is a massive advantage for database applications or large web services... but certainly not for phone apps in the near future.

I know what 64-bit computing is. And I didn't say anything about phone chips, or ARM. It seems like you're posting this rant to every subthread, regardless of content?
