The conversion guide makes a particular point about memory pressure on small devices when code moves to 64 bit. This is definitely going to be something developers have to think about and use the tools to work out where memory is suffering. I think Apple knows this but has gone there anyway.
Still standing by my last mail about how this is a good early step towards 64 bit and will eventually be the right move, i think without 2x the memory on-device and with the different memory issues involved in a larger address space, there's going to be some struggling at the start.
