Are there any subtle differences between the 64 bit and the 32 bit versions? I know the 64 version has greater capabilities as far as file size etc. Is there a performance trade off to gain this ability? The bottom line is; if you have both versions, is there any reason to prefer one over the other? I think I'm going to evolve one version with different settings etc. The memory footprint is so small with vedit I run both at the same time. I can't tell any difference in the way they perform.

Vedit est optime. CodeWright est mortuus.

My benchmarks have shown VPW64.EXE slightly slower. Not enough to
cause me to choose one over the other however all my shorcuts that I
use are pointed to VPW.EXE for no specific reason.

The 64-bit version is about 5% slower because we are using a 32-bit CPU to perform 64-bit operations.

If desired you can rename vpw64.exe to vpw.exe (after either renaming
vpw.exe to vpw32.exe or deleting it).

A future installation will ask whether the 32-bit or 64-bit should be
the primary version.
