Oh I don't think so. The AMD Opteron is a lot faster in 64-bit than in
32-bit. Not only does it have eight additional GPRs but also the
XMM-Registers (aka SSE). During my benching, every single 64-bit test
was faster than the same software compiled for 32-bit - sometimes more
than 20% faster in 64-bit
