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 reloads.  Testing of 
the specific webapps is required.
