x32
From section "Will I have a performance upgrade if I use a 64bit system instead of 32bit?":

64bit is generally faster when it comes to floating point computing…

If my understanding right, x32 applications works with FPU as well as "regular" x86_64 apps. Maybe make sense expand this article with notes about x32 or at least proper links? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Totktonada (talk • contribs) 29 March 2014‎

Necessary of "rc-update add cpufrequtils boot"
About /etc/{conf,init}.d/cpufrequtils from section "How do I use Cool'n'Quiet/PowerNow/SpeedStep features?".

I understand why someone can need START_OPTS: set CPU governor at startup without kernel rebuild. Useful of such feature is ambiguous, but okay. But what function perform STOP_OPTS, why someone can need in this?

At least note that "rc-update add cpufrequtils boot" is very optional make sense in this article. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Totktonada (talk • contribs) 29 March 2014‎
