Also worth mentioning that in the case of the ARM (not familiar with others), there are twice as many registers in the 64 bit world, so while you may lose a little in the memory requirements, you ought to gain a good amount in the speed department, especially with a load/store architecture like ARM where more registers is a good thing.
