It has its advantages and disadvantages, yes. I haven't noticed
a performance penalty, but I haven't tried to measure it either. As for
using a 64bit kernel with my 32bit userspace: everytime I tried, I found
out something doesn't work with it. First it was 32bit ekiga didn't
work with a 64bit video driver; then it was 32bit wpa-supplicant didn't
work with a 64bit wifi driver; last I tried it was uswsusp which failed
for similar reasons.
