Check out the presentation below. I used it while researching an upgrade deployment from Win Server 2003 32-bit to Win Server 2012 R2 x64 boxes that also would involve transitioning to Domino 9.
BP 102: IBM Domino 64bit - All You Need to Know

We too had some 32-bit tasks running on Domino that I could find no way to port (not ours; a vendors...). Ultimately, the above convinced me that, currently, the 64-bit OS provides the majority of the benefit, even when running 32-bit Domino. Note the quote on page 10 of the presentation: "Running 32Bit Domino on 64bit OS gives you already most of the performance and scalability benefits."
I've not been disappointed. The 30+ Domino EXEs now have up to 4GB each to expand into instead of sharing that 4GB on the Win 2003 server (I can't believe we were actually surviving before on a 4GB server...).
The Domino processes typically consume 8-12 GB RAM (out of 32GB) with no one process running beyond 0.8-0.9GB. Traveler, ScanMail for Domino from Trend Micro, and HTTP are typically top memory consumers, followed by nserver and several nupdate tasks. We have a couple of 8-10GB databases with > 1-mil docs each and dozens of views, which probably accounts for the nupdate tasks being so high on the memory usage, at about 0.67GB each.
I will probably transition to 64-bit Domino at some point in the future, but 32-bit Domino on 64-bit OS has, so far, provided the performance boost and headroom needed right now while giving time to figure out how to either deal with 32-bit compatibility issues or find a replacement for what they do.
