Garbage collection is much faster on 32 bit JVM than a corresponding 64 bit JVM. Therefore I prefer to my small web applications or component that don't need a ton of heapspace on 32 bit JVM.

Can't you tune a 64-bit JVM to have a smaller heap or GC as aggressively as a 32-bit JVM?

Citation needed. Is this true even with compressed pointers?

Um, the article explicitly tested that case. Does that count as a citation?

Well now that you mention it. How I overlooked that is beyond me. Still hard to believe the results, what is going on there?
