Comment (by kencu):

 Hi Ricky. Last time I checked, lots of things didn't work right with the
 64bit build, and there didn't seem to be any advantage to 64b over 32b.
 Ergo the 32b default. IIRC, the issues were networking, full-screen
 graphics glitches, and the JIT.

 But I'm happy to take another look.

 I think there will be big pressure to get these all fully fixed once MacOS
 no longer supports 32bit -- that will be within the couple of years, I
 understand, but not any time right soon.
