2-64 bit installations take more disk space, which in turn means updates require more time and bandwidth for the duplicative required -32bit packages
The -32bit packages are not required..(maybe except a few small ones) , the problem is that something "recommends" them, either in the patterns or spec files.. (I have no looked where that comes from)
3-last I checked specifically, zypper still offered no option to not clutter search results with i586 packages on 64 bit installations
4-whatever speed advantage 64 bit may have over 32 bit has never become apparent to me
