Is there a performance diff on 32 vs 64 bit?  Running on athlon 64 chip.

I recently tried to help a friend get MythTV going on FC5-64bit on his
system, but we had a problem where the frontend and ivtv driver would
hang with live-tv channel changes. We ended up reinstalling with
FC5-32bit and that works fine now. Not sure if it's a Myth or ivtv
bug...

The rest seemed to work OK, but the new PVR500 has poor reception/lots
of static on /dev/video1 problem that has cropped up with the latest
PVR500s. /dev/video0 works perfectly.

There supposedly should be an updated ivtv driver to fix this soon
(maybe it's out already?), but as of a few weeks ago we had no luck
with it using any of the ivtv drivers available through ATrpms.
