generally, one advantage of 64-bit apps is that you can address more memory. this can be quite useful in GEM if you want to load video files into RAM.

however, maybe the biggest advantage of 64bit apps on OSX is that you will be able to run them on the next OSX version ;-) https://www.computerworld.com/article/3269007/apple-mac/what-apples-32-bit-app-phase-out-on-mojave-means-to-you.html

on Windows, Pd has always been released as 32-bit, only since 0.49 we have "official" 64-bit releases-
