More cores will help in some cases.  Faster disks will always help.  Being sure that you have enough memory so that the system is not paging helps.  And get rid of most EXECUTE statements, which force generally needless data passes.

You can measure Statistics performance with the STATS BENCHMRK extension command available from the SPSS Community.

Thanks also for the information about 64 bit specials (memory pointer sizes,
runtime libraries).

How can one speed up a 32 bit version as much as possible: Probably only by
using a machine with more kernals (eg. six core)? Would linux be an
advantage to windows?
