title: Why is the 64-bit version of Chrome more stable than the 32-bit
body: <p>When Google first released the 64-bit version of Chrome to the Canary and Dev channels they stated that:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Stability</strong>: Finally, we’ve observed a marked increase in stability for 64-bit Chrome over 32-bit Chrome. In particular, crash rates for the the renderer process (i.e. web content process) are almost half that of 32-bit Chrome.</p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>What exactly would make the 64-bit version more stable? Is there something about recompiling to 64-bit that makes it more stable, or was there some retooling under the hood that had this effect?</p>
