Huh? Why would a 64-bit machine run slower than a 32-bit machine?
Overall performance depend on many things: CPU speed, number of CPUs,
memory size, I/O, especially, virtual memory paging, network interface
bandwidth
64bit machines come with better capacity except
cpu computation speed!
I think what is being forgotten here is that is not a 32bit vs 64bit
theoretical discussion, but rather a comparison of AMD64 vs i386
Sun Java 1.5 64bit has always been quicker in my tests than the 32bit
variation - both running on Debian, both with a similar 2.6 kernel.
AMD64 has a lot more and longer registers than i386 - and I could
imagine
that the results I have seen are based on this difference..

Otherwise 64bit machines suck! That;s why 64bit Windows is not
popular. I don't them many shops selling!
I would assume that is because
A) You need twice as much memory for everything
B) Limited drivers available
C) Games not 64bit...
Performance isn't the issue here...
