Default 32 Bit vs 64 Bit

Do you notice any significant improvements when you moved from 32 bit to 64 bit? I'd like to see some examples if you have any like:

It took me 30 seconds in 32 bit
It takes me 5 seconds in 64 bit

I'm just curious.

Yes, I have seen a BIG improvement - but that was moving from a vista 32-bit to a vista 64-bit install. Sadly, my linux installs are isolated to Live CDs or Virtual machines, and all installed in vanilla flavoring...

What kind of time differences did you notice? I'm still stuck on 32 bit....

64 bit has a big advantage over 32 bit. With the Quad Core processors coming, I think the 32 bit systems will be cut down more.
