Since the question is only for 32-bit builds, does this even matter?
32-bit builds on x86 generally bring you poorer performance by
themselves, as the CPU has only access to 8 general-purpose registers
(instead of 16) in that mode.  If you want better performance (or want
to efficiently address 3+GB of RAM, which is an extremely common
situation nowadays), you probably want 64-bit builds.
