Tile size in performance not changing at all I cannot get my tile size to change in the performance section. it will not budge from 32x32. is this normal in cycles rendering? 

Blender render is stuck on 64x60 

I do have some memory of it being able to change. I've tried resetting the defaults and it still suck on the same settings.
I'm guessing you have the Render Auto Tile Size addon enabled? If that's true, you can't change the tile size manually. Just disable the addon to input a custom size.
