Looking for make application run fast as possible, aside optimization in the source code, is using 64 bit over 32 really worth?
With the GC yes, since false pointers become less of an issue. Also you get to take full advantage of the target CPU. The vast majority of home computers today use 64 bit. You'll also be able to take advantage of more optimizations since the compiler can assume more features are available. But you will *probably* get better performance from profiling + optimizing than 32 bit -> 64 bit.
