Since when was i386 *ever* faster than AMD64?

Certain closed-source apps & plugins are only built for i386. There
are work-arounds for AMD64 systems running in 64-bit mode. Google
to find many web pages that describe how.
There are certain open-source apps that code certain critical
functions in hand-tweaked 386 assembly if the build target is i386.
I don't have any specifics off the top of my head. Google should help.
