I'm using Vista x64, but Perl 5.10 32-bit, due to a couple of modules that haven't been ported to x64 and I was not able to port. I don't have anything particularly performance-dependent going, so I never tried benchmarking the 32-bit Perl versus the x64 build, but I've never noticed any speed problem and never had a problem running the same setup from my old XP box.

Maybe you can use the 32-bit version? For what it's worth.
