Dieter ,

Can you expand on your below comment.

"Now there are 64-bit systems, so this is even worse, due to pad byte fields and alignment issues :-("

This is a harrowing thought when thinking about converting from our 32 bit MP-RAS to 64bit Linux.

I have not put that much thought to the idea, but from what I can understand from your statement, this could have a significant performance impact in migrating to a new OS.

I guess my question is, in your opinion, will the switch to 64 bit significantly degrade the effectiveness of MultiValue Compression?

Thanks,

Eric
