Uhh, no. That is a ridiculous statement. Why would a 64-bit port of
a game be *slower*? Why would any program be slower if built for the
x86_64 platform? That just makes absolutely no sense. I have not
done many comparisons, but I know I have seen at least one program get
a more than 2x performance boost between 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
There is a lot to be gained in moving to 64-bit, with probably the
biggest gain being the availability of 16 general purpose registers
rather than 8.

And what are we supposed to be looking for in this search?
