PAE is slower than direct memory access for sure, but I am not sure if
it is higher overhead than what supposedly some 64bit code slows down on
64bit. Certainly for now the 32bit is the mature platform, while the
64bit is new.
Life will be much simpler when Etch is released, since then we can
probably consider amd64 a mature platform too, and hopefully by then
intel will have released some decent CPUs with 64bit support. :)
