Of course it matters.  I'm assuming you're only running 386 and amd64
vm's, and to oversimply to the extreme, one is 32-bit, the other is
64-bit.  There's no multilib or whatever on 9front.  Another more
important difference is that amd64 is de facto the standard (followed
by arm64), and 386 is used very rarely -- meaning that there probably
are more bugs in 386 just because fewer people test and use it.
Furthermore I am very doubtful that aws or other providers are running
32-bit systems limited to less than 4gb of RAM etc., hence the
"performance hit" you're probably referring to when you're running a
386 vm on there.  In any case, now we don't know if it's problems
specific to amd64 or 386, or anything.
