Is it true running 64 bit would be faster? Why? increased X video pipeline
sizes or something?

If re-installing in 64 bit will make a significant improvement I will do it.
The reason I am not running in 64 bit right now is I thought it would be
slower, and also I didn't want to have compatibility problems with other
software I might want to run later.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in
practice, there is.
