So awesome: Microsoft's "performance tidbits" got 50% of their "incontrovertible facts" about x64 wrong :(pic.twitter.com/Ukc9x7GYdb

@ricomariani Or you could write the truth, which is that well-written programs get slightly larger and slightly faster in 64-bit.
@cmuratori @ricomariani And that poorly-written programs don't matter because _they already sucked_. Like Visual Studio.
@cmuratori @ricomariani That's the real defense of 32-bit VS. "Who cares? The performance would still suck in 64-bit!"
@cmuratori My experience shows growth of between 1.2x and 1.4x for well written code is normal/typical. There are exceptions.
@cmuratori @ricomariani Does well-written mean "not many pointers?"
@mr_boombastic @ricomariani No, well-written means performance is isolated to spots where actual work is being done.
