There is a short segment of 31-bit code that is generated on the fly by another piece of software that I need to call. I don't control that piece of software, and I'm putting the results of that computation into an above-the-bar chunk of memory for later processing. No I/O.
Since it sounds as if the switching is fairly expensive, I'll see if there is some reasonable way to batch the calls, rather than making the 64->31->64 switch for every item.
