I don't own any applications Marty, neither 32 or 64 bit but there is
some OSS software that can take advantage of 64bit.

That a 64bit version runs slower I know, the bins are larger so it needs
more mem. and most bins are a bit slower on startup.
My main thought was that "unknown makes unloved" so the less there's
known about a platform the less vulnerabilitys there are known... (but
if I end up with an highly unstable, unusable or insecure system I will
drop all efforts and use mainstream)
