This is not true. Its important that myths like this do not spread.
What is true is that it is not possible to use shared objects compiled
for one word size with host apps compiled for another.
So the claim, that Software must be optimized for 64bit at
sourcecode-level, to run really better on 64bit then on 32bit is incorrect?
in general yes. there are a few very specialized things that one can do
at the source code level to get improved performance from a 64 bit
platform, but they don't affect audio software much since we deal with
floating point data in general.
