[scribus] Scribus performance on a 64 bit system :)

[W. Anderson]

An employee of mine has been using Scribus - later than 1.3.X
on FreeBSD with GUI on bith 32 bit and 64 bit hardware. He also
has noticed significantly better performance than on GNU/Linux
and on Windows systems. I suspect the high performance file system
used has some effect.
