I haven't tried the 64-bit version. But if that might help I will try it. (I'm trying to think of what might not be happy in 64-bit mode.) I did mention I have a new 2014 15" with an i7 is you read my post, specifically . . . it's a 2.5GHz i7 16GB RAM 1TB SSD. (Intel Iris pro graphics.) Running...

I bought a new machine thinking I might be able to get improvements in latency. But that’s not happening even t...
