thing is, everyone will still complain, thinking that simply it has to be faster since it is 64bit! :-)

Either way compression is a lot more time consuming so the most important part to improve. If i could pick 64 bit PA to get a bit faster compression, but also a bit slower extraction i would have picked that option.
I believe 64 bit Windows on the desktop really had a breakthrough with Vista and 7. A lot of people want 64 bit for the OS and then usually prefer native 64 bits applications as well even if they don't notice a difference compared to 32 bit. I guess it's not a matter of "if" a software company should have a 64 bit version, but but "when" it should happen since 64 bit obviously is the future. Some competitors are already there and i think PA should consider to do the same thing sooner instead of later.
