As I said the benefits for Squid is quite limited. The main benefit is
that it allows for larger processes above 2GB in size (practically
unlimited). This may help some large scale Squid users.

I do not see how going 64-bit would give any speed benefit to Squid,
rather the opposite (but only marginally).
