5-CURRENT amd64 performance versus i386 performance on same HW

I was wondering if anyone has done performance tests, especially
network and disk IO tests on an opteron system, or preferably a dual
opteron system, using the 5-CURRENT or similar codebase for both the
amd64 release as well as the i386 release. I am wondering how the
amd64 codebase compares to the i386 codebase on identical HW. This
is for a server type use.
I have a single processor opteron that will be put into use as a
firewall[PF]/router/vpn-gateway for a bunch of other internet servers
and was wondering whether to go with the amd64 or the i386 versions
of FreeBSD. My other opteron (dual) is running i386 version as I had
some linux and java needs which at the time I put it into service,
was not readily available on amd64 (which may have changed by now).
Thanks
Chad
