Branching off-topic, is "low-spec" a reason to not use 64-bit? The first
page I looked at [1] suggests to only install the 32-bit version if your
CPU is 32-bit (lscpu lists only "32-bit" under CPU op-mode).

Ah, the last comment on that page says if only 3GB of RAM then the
64-bit version was more sluggish, at least as of Ubuntu 13.04. (But if
true, I'm still curious as to why.)
