These are good numbers and show that ILP32 has performance advantage over LP64.

SPEC CPU2006 is a user-land benchmark and spends almost no time in the kernel (by design). Similar results for a kernel-focused benchmark would be highly interesting too, and kernel reviewers have asked for these a couple of times. Do you plan to run kernel benchmarks on the hardware you have?

Thanks,
