[sqlite] Updating on 32bit os slower than 64bit?

[xp]

Hi,

I am a sqlite newbie. I would be very grateful if anyone can answer my
question or point me to the right direction.

I have a very simple database:

create table epics_channel(
  id integer primary key,
  epics_pv text unique,
  value_type text,  -- current or voltage
  value real default 0.0
);
--------- Populate EPICS channel table --------------
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('01QM000I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('01MP001I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('01MP002I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('01MP003I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('02MP001I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('02MP002I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('02MP003I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('02MP004I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('02MP005I01',
'current');
insert into epics_channel(epics_pv, value_type) values ('02MP006I01',
'current');

And a single c++ code to update the database:
 
 sqlite3* db;
  char* errmsg;
  sqlite3_open("example.db", &db);
  sqlite3_enable_load_extension(db, 1);
  const char* lib = "./libsqliteext.so";
  sqlite3_load_extension(db, lib, 0, &errmsg);

  std::string sql;
  sqlite3_stmt* stmt;

  for(int j = 1; j <=10; ++j )
  {
    std::stringstream val;
    std::stringstream id;
    val << a_number; id << j;
    sql = "update epics_channel set value = " + val.str() + " where id = " +
id.str();
    sqlite3_prepare(db, sql.c_str(), -1, &stmt, NULL);
    sqlite3_step(stmt);
    sqlite3_finalize(stmt);
  }

I ran the same code on a 64bit(scientific linux 6.1) and a 32bit(fedora 17)
linux box. it took 0.113859 sec for the 64bit system to finish, but 14.4922
sec for the 32bit fedora 17.  Can anyone tell me why it was so slow on the
32bit system?
And I noticed this only happened for the "update". If I use "select", it
took both systems about the same time to finish.
