[gentoo-user] To x86_64 or not to x86_64

[Anthony E. Caudel]

I have an AMD 64x2 that I have been using only in x86 mode since I got
it.  I have been thinking of going to x86_64 mode but I'm wondering if
it's worth the trouble with multilib, chroot'ing, firefox-bin and other
compromises (admittedly some minor).  I realize I should see some speed
increase but probably only in certain areas such as compiling.

So, for those users who have used both, is it worth it overall?
