I tried to boot into 64-bit kernel and it seems to work OK.
And a short benchmark shows that the same document runs 10.6 seconds on average with 32-bit LuaTeX and 5.9 seconds on average with 64-bit LuaTeX (I made sure to make at least 5 runs before measuring). Both tests were performed on 64-bit kernel running with all other binaries but LuaTeX being the same. So that's in contradiction with Yue's observation that 64-bit LuaTeX runs slower. (Though it may be biased. I wouldn't be surprised if Mac OS X tries to run some kind of "virtualizer" for 32-bit binaries.) Mojca
