How to force a 32-bit/64-bit universal app to start in 32-bit mode on Leopard?

Hi,

While it's good for my app to run in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard, it
turns out not desirable on Leopard, because of the delay of loading
all 64-bit frameworks (in case if my app is the first 64-bit app
launched after system boot). It literally makes me wait for about ten
seconds, and the performance gain of my app in 64-bit mode is
definitely not worth it on Leopard.

My app is assembled as a universal binary that supports 3
architectures: 32-bit intel, 32-bit ppc and 64-bit intel. Obviously,
the system chooses the best architecture it can run, which is 64-bit
intel in case of Leopard.

Is there a way to change that and force my app to run in 32 bit mode on Leopard?

I would hate to have to supply two versions, one for Leopard and
another one for Snow Leopard.

Thanks!
