RE: 32 or 64? -- on Solaris 8 ?

Has anyone tests / benchmarks showing a multiuser OLTP Oracle database performs better with 64-bit 8.1.7 on 64-bit Solaris8 then
32-bit 8.1.7 on 64-bit Solaris8 ?

ie, the default Solaris8 install is 64-bit. If the DB is less than 100GB with db_block_buffers of less than 1GB and db_block_size of 4K [sorry !] and there are 10 to 20 concurrent users, would 32-bit 8.1.7 or 64-bit 8.1.7 be better ?

What about databases with 1.5GB db_block_buffers, 8K db_block_size and 50 to 100 concurrent users ?
