I would agree to that. And to counteract "this is going to be slower",
well, perhaps, but then again, AMD64 processors have been out for more
than 10 years. And there are even ARM64 processors now, and you'd hardly
use ARM processors for running PHP at full speed.. If you're still on
32bit, maybe it's time to upgrade.
