From what I have experienced, dedicated 64-bit builds allow the program to use up more ram and make calculations faster correct? Why do you not have a 64-bit build in when most of the computers these days run 64-bit Windows?
For example: 64-bit Java is quite faster than the 32-bit Java.

In its current state, warzone will never use more than maybe a gigabyte of memory (even in a 5v5 archangel-fest)
64 bit means only one thing: you can use more than 4GB (2GB for windows) of total memory space. It doesn't inherently give more performance, and you get the hassle of trying to find 64 bit versions of all the libraries.
So yeah, not worth it.

In x86-64 land, you got more registers. The more registers you have, the more the compiler can use them instead of using RAM (stack) for variables (and some other stuff).
That means, that a good compiler can make some things faster if compiled under a 64bit scheme.
Not everything will be faster, since this is very specific, for example, loops or functions calls that have lots of variables can be converted to use registers instead of the slower stack based method.
That means, it might be possible to have 64bit builds that are faster than the 32bit versions, but, again, it depends on how well the compiler optimizes stuff.
At this time, there is no cross-compiler that can handle everything we need for 64bit installs. They are working on it, and are almost there (last I looked, about 85% done to making a 64bit clean build chain).

P.S. Btw, could the AMD's GPU PerfStudio tool be useful for wz's performance tests?
