I've used both and don't notice any difference for the stuff I'm using |
| 11 |
my computer for. |

Only 32bit application I'm using is firefox. |
| 14 |
|

I'm not sure if compiling is faster because I let emerge run in the |
| 16 |
background while watching a movie. |

Overall it works fine for me but I don't see much difference comparing |
| 19 |
my install to a 32bit install. |
