    A somewhat obvious question to some perhaps, but what server application
    mix on FreeBSD today sees an improvement using 64bit CPUs ? In my ISP
    centric world, my big apps are BIND, IMAP/POP3, httpd via apache, SMTP, AV
    and SPAM scanning, and firewalls/routing. Apart from larger RAM, why would
    these benefit from the 64bit world ? Or would they ?
