Except that PHP is not just used on servers? I doubt figures are available, but it would be interesting to find out how big the minority is who use PHP to run local applications on local hardware?

Aren't the vast majority of servers 64-bit anyway? And those that aren't are probably just 32-bit-mode 64-bit CPU servers, which wouldn't be slow, right?
