I haven't encountered any nonbelievers. Everyone knows that 32-bit mode
is slower than 64-bit mode for the AMD64. The problem was statements
like this:

"AMD64 architecture provides more benefits to general 64bit apps 
than broken 64bit sparc processors do.  ;o)"

It is entirely clear that it is the AMD64-architecture that is broken
for not providing a decent 32-bit mode.
