This is very interesting.

How's the performance of your 64-bit box on a local display?

How's the performance on a remote display which *does* have the RENDER
extension?  I.e. from fat Linux box to fat Linux box?

If you identify an operation that is particularly slow when comparing
the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, could you run it in a loop under Sysprof
or something?  That may give us some clues.
