64bit PHP performs worse than 32bit PHP. This is primarily as a result of increased memory usage. As PHP is not multi-threaded but rather each process serves only one request having access to more than 4gb memory like you'd have with a 64bit model is really pointless. We therefore continue to recommend running 32bit PHP even on 64bit Windows. Btw, this is not uncommon. There is a lot of software out there which performs better as 32bit.
