I should add that I meant that there are no other benefits comparing  
32-bit R and 64-bit R on Tiger. Of course comparing 32-bit R on ppc  
Tiger with x86 Windows or Linux is a different story with many  
differences ranging from the CPU architecture, memory management to  
the optimization and available BLAS libraries ... (of course you  
could expand this and compare Linux on a G5 etc.).
