OSX and the 64-bit Kernel

Today I flipped over the x64 kernel on my MacBook Pro. So far, noticing the memory allocation/deallocation performs a lot better. Very very nice. Might actually alter the nvram settings to make it permanent.

I did however suffer a stability issue that forced me to hard reboot. I was brew (homebrew rocks – but that’s another post!) building in one tab of terminal and then a ‘svn co’ in another tab. I hit CTRL-C on svn and it hung. Tried to kill -9 things it really wasn’t having anything of it. Not sure what caused it. Logs don’t show much either. I’m sure i’ll get to bottom of it at some point.
