UTF-32 uses 32 bit words...

Nevertheless, you have to do a compromise between the current machine 
architectures, the current running applications and their actual 
requirements...

Today, running a 64 bit OS is not often a requirement. If you *DO* get 
performance increases... then do use it. If you don't... get back to 32 
bits... unless you really need to manipulate 64bit data structures...
