This is not true. If properly configured 32-bit build provides
equivalent (if not better performance) than 64-bit builds on most
platforms. Probably the only exclusion is x86_64 and only when it comes
to PKI operations. If you feel like challenging my statement, define
"significantly," "faster" and specify platform. A.
