You don't do it for speed, you do it for memory management. 32-bit apps are limited to a 3GB process space even under a 64-bit OS, 64-bit apps under 64-bit OS are effectively unlimited. How much physical memory do you have? If you have less than 4GB, there isn't any real benefit. If you have more than 4GB, the benefit is enormous.
