  The only good reason I am seeing is that your database needs very large data cache, that 32 bit cannot cover, so speeding up the applications by having much more data cached.

In global 64-bit applications are slower then 32-bit. I know this is not the rule, but if no crazy mathematics is involved or no need for huge cache or bigger HW that is only 64-bit no reasons to go from 32-bit Oracle.

As I said the other reason may be the application side and not Oracle at all.
