OK - now that's much better!
We haven't done exact timings (we can if you'd like) but performance feels to be back in line with the earlier builds.
Awesome - thanks for the attention to this Mathias!
If I could just figure out why my nested 64-bit exception stack traces go off into the weeds (raised in a separate topic) , I'd be sweet.
I've been suggesting our users use our 32-bit builds in preference instead but laypeople naturally think that 64-bits must be twice as good. <sigh>
