// Mostly leaner - a 32-bit JVM uses 32-bit pointers, so object references consume less heap and stack space. Whether or not the code runs faster or slower depends on what you're doing, since the tradeoff is fewer registers available in 32-bit mode, which can lead to more register spills and re

// You can look for biggest objects in heap (using MAT, Leak Suspects report, Dominators Tree report). This way you can try to find what was the exact reason of OOM instead of just thinking "eh, I need to give instances more memory". MAT does things good. I've already found using MAT+JVVM the rea
