I'm no compiler expert, but I don't think that matters. Your gcc should compile them with 64-bit support.
Is my poor Apache/mod_perl (and mediocre mod_cgi performance) likely to be related to the 64-bit architecture?
In general, you can expect any program to run slower when compiled for a 64-bit CPU, since it has to push more bits around. Hopefully you make up for that by using more memory and doing less disk access. Frankly, 64-bit is very unlikely to be your problem. How about telling us more about it? How are you testing it to see that it runs slow? Where did you see it run faster? Does the same code run faster through CGI? You may just have some simple configuration problem. - Perrin
