Both are official 32bit versions, later I tried my own recompiled 3.6.1 
version for 64bit, and it was a bit faster (around 40min, don't remember 
exactly, I'll try it once more for more serious test ;-). The scene was 
the same, with the same settings and the same result, as you wrote ;-).

I think so, I'will try it ;-)
