32 or 64 bit ?

I'm building postfix (2.2.8) for solaris 10 on an athlon64 and wondering
whether to build 64 bit binaries ?

I found some stuff on the list archives that said it was a slower , but
there did not appear to be any *real* reason why it was slower.

This solaris box will be replacing a x86_64 redhat box, complete with 64
bit postfix and mysql etc.

Given all the talk about how much better 64 bit is for databases, what
should I do there on the solaris box ?

Opinions welcome....

Brian.
