I expected this. There's nothing about a 64-bit system that should make it quicker.

Four benefits to running 64-bit over 32-bit:
Developers: Extra registers to use
Developers: Higher data ranges for integers.
Developers and Users: >4gb of memory
Users: It makes your dick bigger


Okay, so we have summed up the differences. How are any of these supposed to improve performance? They're not. 64-bit is 32-bit with a 64-bit extension. In a huge majority of tests out there, 64-bit hurts performance.

If anything, the extra overhead and hacked-together 64-bit operating system by Microsoft will definitely cause more problems.

I'll upgrade to 64-bit when I feel the need to exceed 3.2gb of memory.
