Very interesting! Thanks for posting that URL. Using the "bar" for storage avoids out-of-memory errors in 31 bit Java and the overhead in 64 bit Java. The 31 bit Java pointer is 24 bytes, but 48 bytes (with some padding bytes) in 64 bit. So that reduces the storage overhead and page tables and TLB usage. At least, as best as I can tell. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
