Great to know and I may have to do that myself. I will probably give the build a whirl both ways and compare some benchmarks. Maybe even all 3 ways as I have some R&D time. Any settings I should know about to kick the install down to 32bit? I suppose 4.11 is native 32bit or do I have to kick that down too on a 64bit system?

You should be able to run 4.11 in i386 (32 bit mode) (or 5.4 in the same mode) if you want. I run dual 64bit opterons running i386 32bit version of 5.3... If you don't need the 64bit mode and there are 32bit things that you do require, you may want to consider it for the time being.
