I did some tests with my most used apps (gcc, tar, bzip2...) about 2 and
a half year ago with i386 and amd64-kernels. Nearly the same behavior,
with one exception: I/O (disk and console) is much faster on amd64, but
I don't know why...
If anyone is interested in details, I can search the results of this
tests runs.
