I would expect 64-bit Java to use 64-bit object pointers, and 32-bit Java to
use 32-bit object pointers. Given how often object pointers occur in typical
Java programs, that's a fair bit of extra memory. If you assume that half of a
typical object's state is references to other objects, then (naively) you'll
use 50% more memory.
Now I'll sit back and wait for Chuck to contradict me :-).
