I think a kernel compile would be a useless comparison because you would 
be using completely different compilers to make two kernels for 
different archs.  That is not very representative of anything.

Perhaps quake3 if there is a 64bit version, but anything that relies 
heavily on disk rather than processor wouldn't be particularly 
interesting in a 32bit vs 64bit comparison.
