I may reinstall at a later date as this is still very much a box to play
with, but I gather there is no great gain from going 64 bit other than
not having to play with PAE if you've got lots or RAM.

It's not RAM that ZFS really likes but your KVA (Kernel Virtual Address)
space. With a 32bit kernel you are more likely to experience problems
with KVA shortage than you are RAM shortage when using ZFS.
