In general the bechmarks I have seen seek to show how fast you can complete atask, perhaps using lots of memory, perhaps swapping, perhaps PAE paging vs 64bit.
When comparing 32/64-bit systems, I don't think I/O would be significantly different, I'm guessing that's why they don't bother testing. It's more in application speed, which will affect LTSP server performance, that there's an issue. We all seem to think that 64-bit server OS are the way to go anyway, so that's pretty much a done deal.
The question this really gives an answer to I now think, is that when using local apps, is it worth maintaining a separate chroot for 64-bit clients. I think the benchmarks show that the answer is yes.
