You only have to edit Terminal once. After that you can switch between 32 bit & 64 bit simply pressing down the '3' & '2' or '6' & '4' keys while booting up.

The only issue I had was that image file icons stopped showing the previews - I had to hit the space bar to see the image preview.
Thanks. I will have to use the 64-bit mode for a while to see what performance gains there are.

My thumbnails work in 64-bit mode. Maybe check your Quicklook plug-ins folder for the culprit.
