advancedJVM Internals & Memory
What are the performance trade-offs between a 32-bit and 64-bit JVM?
32-bit has smaller pointers (less CPU cache pressure, faster for small short-lived apps) but caps heap around 3GB and only supports C1. 64-bit scales to available RAM and gets both C1+C2, but pointer overhead makes it not automatically faster for small apps.
