I finally upgraded to Windows 7 x64 on my MAME machine, mainly to take advantage of the increased performance. However, I ran into something unexpected. The first thing I did was to compare 0.142 regular vs. x64 and saw a 22% increase in game speed on mace. Others have seen 25% on similar comparisons, but I figured this was close enough, as everyone's systems might react differently. I normally play that game with 0.127 because it would run ~8% faster on 32bit MAME. Therefore, my next test was to download 0.127 x64 and compare it to x86. This time, x64 is only 18% faster than x86.
Does anyone know why the x64 speed increase does not scale on 0.127 as well as it does on 0.142?
