Itanium is all about moving data around in large quantities. 32 bit programs won't necessarily benefit at all, and may well be a lot slower in fact... However, this is also true of many other machines. Many folks drop their favorite program on a Cray expecting blinding performance and don't get it, because they can't use the vector hardware.
