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 :-). - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
