What this does is it loads the 64 bit kernel. Why do this? Well the first time you run either Lightroom or Photoshop CS4 in 64 bit kernel mode you will be a believer! Sure both of the above do indeed run faster on boiler plate Snow Leopard but in 64 bit kernel mode they run faster still!!!
Do test all your applications in 64 bit kernel mode! Not all work yet! Like Vmware Fusion! grrrr. The good news is Vmware Fusion does run nice n fast in 32 bit kernel mode on Snow leopard.
If all your applications do work in 64 bit kernel mode then you can follow the directions in the link above to force 64 bit kernel mode during boot up instead of doing the two finger trick.
