I don't think it's a function of the 64bit os that is causing
perceptible slowness. I've used a 64bit os and 32 for a good time,
really never noticed a difference - disks were always the
differentiator. I began using 64bit's entirely when I began using
8-16gb regularly of ram on a box, but otherwise isn't a reason.
Ubuntu has a disk performance tool in their disk manager, mint may too,
I'd use that to check and see if your drive speed is worth a darn before
I suspect cpu arch. Install htop as well and see what is using
resources. Use gkrellm or system monitor tools to check cpu/memory/disk
usage too. You'll often find if something is making your access slower,
htop or the others will show it.
