Lazyness.
If we would provide 64bit binaries we probably would have to provide
32bit binaries as well. As long as there are no issues (compability,
performance, dependencies, whatever) with using 32bit binaries on 64bit
platforms, I'd like to keep it this way.

Or anyone else steps up to provide the Windows release support.

Too bad, for me it felt faster but obviously not.

Yes, known issue (exists for multiple releases already) but I don't know
a solution. Maybe this gets better when upgrading to NSIS 3.x.

Thanks for the pointer, fixed.
