Even working with new large spreadsheets (16 M rows, 16 K columns) is simply impossible with 32-bit LO. Partially coming from the previous points - you simply can do more with 64 bit version. Yes, one may argue that the memory usage (and stability) should be improved - you are right but we discuss here the current status, and not some imaginary bright future of LO. You won’t be surprised if I tell you that it takes not long to fill 1.7 GB RAM using several moderately heavy spreadsheets in parallel, or using large images, before 32-bit application on Windows will run out of memory (and crash). And we do use lots of such 64-bit calculations.

RAM is there to be used and you would be wrong if you would enjoy the look of free RAM on your system: that unused RAM just means that you paid for something that you don’t use.īut then goes performance coming from 64-vs-32bit integers. Even without speaking about 32-vs-64 bit version of the same software, the ability to use more memory usually gives huge boost to any software, just because it may keep more in RAM, instead of using slower persistent storage. It is plain wrong to think that if it uses less memory (by how much BTW? Did you measure?), it will provide better UX in any way. Please never measure “efficiency” based on memory consumption.
I’d say 32bit, because it sometimes will use less memory
