I'm glad you found this. I was going to build a new gcc and friends
this afternoon. 

Looks like that's it. I'm seeing a 5-fold difference in reported usage
between the 32-bit and 64-bit boxes for perl and CPAN shell. 
Haven't seen any httpd's killed off but the box has 4 Gigs and a light load.

The 25% figure is what I had expected based on 
http://gcc.fyxm.net/summit/2003/Porting%20gcc%20to%20the%20amd64.pdf
