I believe that there was some mention on this mailing list or the fedora-test 
mailing list that sparc64 applications actually run slower than sparc32 
applications (although having a sparc64 kernel is a good idea).

This was contrasted with the AMD64 where the 64 bit applications are faster 
than 32 bit applications (both running on a 64 bit kernel).

The comment was that there were some applications that needed the 64 bit 
capabilities (for example for addressing) but otherwise, stick with 32 bit.
