sad...

in my case, otherwise I would have asked if anyone had benchmarked the 
SysV/AMD64 calling convention vs the Win64 calling convention...

I personally want to know what is faster, but can't find any benchmarks, nor 
am that inclined in going through all the steps to get it working 
(installing a 64-bit windows, geting 64-bit compilation set up, and getting 
benchmarks to compare between Windows and Linux, ...).

but, alas, if anyone has tested this, I am hoping I can hear the results...


(sadly, I don't have anything available to accurately test Win64 on a 
Linux-based setup, but this could be technically more accurate than using 
Windows, since it would reduce the risk of OS-specific overhead 
differences...).
