Does that mean we are now in double precision?
like in Katja's benchmark:
http://www.katjaas.nl/doubleprecision/doubleprecision.html

Are we still limited by 32 bits pointers to address table?
(I dont remember the exact value, I think it was 2^24)
that would be reaaaaally nice to manage easily big tables (not so big
when you use sounds)
