  64-bit memory access. 64-bit file access (ie. you can have up to at least
2^63 bytes big files without needing to modify your programs). 64-bit long
type.
  And the render times will not be any faster (unless povray needs HUGE amounts
of memory). They will probably be some percents slower (because caches fill up
faster with 64-bit code).
