The program can access much more RAM, which won't necessarily speed things up
but can make some scenes previously impossible possible. As far as speed is
concerned, it will be a bit faster as those CPU's have a few extra general-
purpose registers available, and the compiler will take advantage of this to
avoid memory accesses under some circumstances.
