What you are seeing is a placebo effect. Microsoft themselves will tell you there are only a very few, unique situations where x64 will be faster, such as huge Access DBs. I have one that's over 100 MB, with 30+ queries, and I didn't see any speed difference there. Office x64 is basically a proof of concept product, and is being marketed as such. For everyday use, the x86 should be used.
