I think the question is a bit obsolete.  It's hard to find any 32 bit 
computers any more on most sites.

Years ago I run some simple benchmarking with some other application, the 
results were that the speedup is less than 100% with 64-bit compiled 
application, but double digits all around anyway.  I have not bothered to 
benchmark since, as the results were clear enough for that application.
