On Intel, 64-bit code supposedly runs somewhat faster, as it uses a different instruction set with considerably more registers available. (The regular x86 has only four registers, IIRC. Or maybe that was the Z80.) On PowerPC, the G5 uses the same instruction set in 64-bit, so it doesn't make a difference.

Of course, 64-bit code uses more memory for pointers, which increases cache misses and paging, so whether it's actually faster probably depends on exactly what the code does...
