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 ?
