I don't think it's a function of the 64bit os that is causing perceptible slowness. I've used a 64bit os and 32 for a good time, really never noticed a difference - disks were always the differentiator. I began using 64bit's entirely when I began using 8-16gb regularly of ram on a box, but otherwise isn't a reason.

Ubuntu has a disk performance tool in their disk manager, mint may too, I'd use that to check and see if your drive speed is worth a darn before I suspect cpu arch. Install htop as well and see what is using resources. Use gkrellm or system monitor tools to check cpu/memory/disk usage too. You'll often find if something is making your access slower, htop or the others will show it.
