It leaves you with NO Nightly updates at the present time, Nightly's are still broken because PGO builds are still broken. Non-PGO Nightly's have never been built on Windows as far as I know.

The 64-bit build might not be faster as the 32-bit builds, but definitely less laggy!
Here my current session with 52 tabs with flash Videos, only one video is played and the other 51 not even loaded. With the 64-bit i have no flash crashes or lags, but with the 32-bit build the video runs with low fps (15-20 fps). On youtube i get the same behavior with less than 20 tabs.
sry for my bad english.

There was another successful PGO build today but same issue, I lose my New Tab thumbs and it starts with only the Start Page Tab.
After reinstalling the PGO build from the 9th, I was again prompted for a computer restart. Afterward, all is well again ... thumbs are back on the New Tab page and my previously saved tabs are restored.

Ditto.
When I used 64bit nightly, and then switched back to 32bit, I noticed it was much faster. even with ~200 tabs open, and 2GB RAM usage 32bit just doesn't stop.
