The ppc64 stuff is generally targeted at things like IBM's iSeries and pSeries server hardware. In many cases, 64-bit binaries may not be appreciably faster, but they will be able to take advantage of larger address spaces. x86_64 is not necessarily slower in 64-bit mode, however, due to more registers being available for use.
