Here are my results, they're very interesting indeed.
Phenom II X6 1055 running Windows 8 64 bit. Not currently overclocked, so rest of spec is insignificant.
I took a 3:22 long 24 bit 96kHz 5 channel file and encoded it with the ICL 13.0 32 bit and 64 bit binaries. I conducted 3 runs with each encoder.
64 bit
It seems that, at least on my system with high res files, the 64 bit binary is much faster.
