Some time ago I had a look at pr30388 and got the following results:

	   g77 -O2     g95 -O2     gfc -O2   gfc -m64 -O2
	
MFLOPS:     1063        1061         858        1129

ref. g77			    -19%         +6%

Since the evening is quite calm I decided to check if this speedup with
-m64 is generic or not and I got the following timings for the Polyhedron
test suite:

The results have been obtain on an Intel Core2Duo 2.16Ghz with 2Gb of RAM 
under Darwin9.1 with gfortran 4.3 at revision 131206.

Is this 10 to 20% speedup with -m64 expected?  and how generic is it? 
In the assembly code of the inner loop of the test case in PR30388,
the main differences I can see are at the level of the addressing: 
%eax, %ebp, ... in 32 bit mode and %rn, ... in 64 bit mode.

TIA

Dominique
