- first one is a PIV@3.2ghz, 32bit which i use at work.
- second one is an amd64 venice which i use at home.
Both installations are nearly the same (same services, use flags, installed applications), but i noticed a bigger amount of ram used by the amd64 installation.
I know that 64bit code is more memory expansive than 32bit one because of pointer sizes, but here it is about a 20% more!
I'm not sure if this test is correct, but here's the output of pmap on a just opened bash shell.

64bit: http://pastebin.com/ff203a6f
I wonder if i can do something (kernel configuration, cflags, glibc use flags...) to reduce the 64-bit memory footprint.
Thanks in advance.
