It sounds like Merced is a serious dog on x86 applications:

Intel would neither confirm nor deny Sanders' prediction that Itanium will be a slug on existing 32-bit software. A company spokesman told ZDNet on Tuesday that, "Itanium is a 64-bit processor and it is entirely common that when you move to a new architecture, you have to recompile your existing applications to get full benefit." When pressed, the spokesman added: "I can't comment on this because we are not that far in our testing. There is some early silicon out there, but it's too early to say. What I would like to emphasise is that Itanium has built-in 32-bit capability."
