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 :-).
