Well... I have looked into it, as follows:

I created two VirtualBox VMs on a two-year-old MacBook Pro, and installed Fedora 25 on both. The 32-bit version on one, the 64-bit version on the other.

I built Free42 from the latest publicly available source (2.0.4) on both, and then copied the 32-bit executable to the 64-bit VM.

I ran two tests, with the 32-bit and 64-bit executables, in the 64-bit VM: inverting a random complex 100x100 matrix, and taking the element-wise sine of a random complex 100x100 matrix.

For the first test, the 32-bit executable took 4.1 seconds, and the 64-bit version took 2.3 seconds.

For the second test, the 32-bit executable took 0.27 seconds, and the 64-bit version took 0.18 seconds.
