Right now I use the binary i386 VM from ftp.squeak.org/debian, it seems to work but looks slowish to me (tinyBenchmarks):

295 million bytecods/sec 9.5 million sends/sec

And regardless of that it seems reasonable to at least use a 64 bit VM. :)

For one, try to not think with your gut ;)

Secondly, since there seems to be more interest lately, I'm sure someone will provide answers. At least you are the first one posting actual benchmark numbers - until now, I have only suspected a 64 bit VM would actually be slower than a 32 bit VM. It's what my gut tells me ;)
