Is the code optimized for the 64 bit architecture? If not, it might
as well be running on a beefed up 486.

I'm the only one logged in, and the load is at 0.01 when I started
the run and has stayed at 1 (therefore totally idle and having the program
work at capacity). No mail goes in or out of this machine. And usually
only 1 person would log into it just to download some files. Nothing
that would come near stressing the machine.
