In addition to the FM, some notes on metalink are informative, like
62290.1 and 209766.1

It boils down to:=A0 need to increase a few init.ora parameters, like =
the
others said;=A0 numeric variables in memory will be twice as large;=A0
memory address pointers will be twice as large; packages will need to be
recompiled; migration will need to be performed if you move the
datafiles rather than imp/exp (which may be as simple as running one
script, utlirp, which recompiles packages, or you might have to change
word size); and data buffer size will not change.

So it is possible in some usages to actually have it slightly slower
(having to move larger pointers around), but I don't know that anyone
has demonstrated that makes much of a difference.  Some fine tuning will
be required, but you do that anyways.
