32 bit distro or 64?

I've never had the time recently to do 32-bit versus 64-bit speed tests 
on the same hardware, I tend to install 64-bit on 64-bit machines by 
default, though.

One thing I can say: if you use Sophos, I believe they still don't have 
a 64-bit version of the SAVI library available. This will affect you if 
you are using the "sophossavi" Virus Scanners setting.
