Has anyone done any benchmarks to prove that 64-bits is slower or faster? It would be interesting to see benchmarks on modern 32bit and a 64bit systems. Until then it's all hand-waiving.
Sure, but the "burden of proof" needs to be on the party proposing the cnange. "First, do no harm" is a good principle in such cases.
