Interesting enough, with around 25 MByte the size of the PPC version is about half the size of the equivalent Intel version.
Dual Core = Dual Size? :)
Yes, it is one piece of code for the left core and another one for the right core. :-)
Gee, patches in the future must be huge:
"ntel kündigte an, dass die Zahl der Prozessorkerne weiter stark steigen wird. Es wird eine Verdopplung der Kerne alle 18 bis 24 Monate angestrebt. Bei einer Präsentation Ende Oktober 2006 in München wurde für 2009 ein Prozessor mit 32 physikalischen Kernen mit jeweils 4 Hyperthreading-Einheiten in Aussicht gestellt." (Source: Wikipedia)
The intel package's larger footprint is caused by the fact that a lot of components are compiled as UB (containing both x86 AND ppc code).
The Intel update also incorporates more patches. Mostly related to hardware stuff...
Nice speed Volker!
