Comment (by tibbe):

 I don't think so. I think it should reflect the upstream shootout
 benchmark. Can't we just specify that it's intended result is different on
 64-bit and 32-bit? I would have done it if I still had access to a 32-bit
 machine.

 (Testing Word64 on a 32-bit machine doesn't make sense as it's nothing we
 optimize for and thus it will always be awfully slow.)
