You may be wrong. A 64 bit bus can transfer more instructions per cycle
and move a "double" in one stroke. Since the software has to do a lot of
both, it could be the 64 bit nature of the machine that helped to gain the
speed.

It could also be like the new navigation system we just installed. They
got a 25% increase in performance just by changing to a synthetic oil on
the relative bearings.
