Yep, every 64-bit address is twice as long as a 32-bit address. 2Gb address space can be addressed with 32-bit, hence using 64-bit you have a lot of waste just for addressing your objects. I doubt that you have only 2Gb RAM on your Mac. So, 64-bit systems are a complete waste and usually slower,

Paul, as far as I see your data are static. You will not need them once you have created the tiles. My experience is that databases require 4 -10 times more time to render a layer than local shape files. PostGIS is among the faster DBs and would be at the lower end of the 4 - 10, but not that
