[PD] Pd 0.49 64b windows processing question (+ pd~)

[João Pais]

Hello list,

I just noticed that pd 0.49 comes packed with 64b. I was interested to ask  
what are currently the biggest advantages. I imagine that lots of added  
memory capacity; but for example, is it still limited to only one  
processor?

I also notice that pd~ is in windows already for a while, I think I'll  
test it soon for the next version of my porting of Henke's granulator. I  
would like to know: is it guaranteed that parallel processes will run in  
different processors, or a bit of a luck game managed by the operating  
system?

Best,

Joao
