In short, if one's program doesn't require large data-space it will nearly always perform better using 32b, at the exception of the x86_64 vs. x86(32b) where the difference will be coming from a completely different reason (namely : more registers available on the processors) and the overall performance results is likely to vary from one software to the other.
As an example, running povray on x86_64 Fedora 6 is 30% faster than running the 32 bit version on a 32 bit Fedora 6, on the same machine.
