Apart from having 2 extra notches or whatever they're called what' the difference between 11-32 and 11-34 9 speed cassette?

Eaxactly as you say. The jump to the last cog is higher.

Some rear mechs can not handle a 34t rear cog. Some.

so there's no difference in speed or performance then? it's more of a compatibilty issue then.

You get a lower gear if you need it. But a bigger jump from the one before it.
