Now that the 32-bit version of kdb+ has been made free for commercial use by kx, what benefits are there still to buying a licence, other than:

  1. 64-bit version will allow you to address more than 4GB of memory
  2. You will get support and access to a members-only mailing list

Specifically, will operations on 64-bit datatype vectors (long and float) be slower with the 32-bit interpreter, or can it utilize the full word size of the CPU?
