Windows, due to limiting an individual process' virtual space to 2 GB. (Some versions of Windows Server allow configuration of a 3 GB process space, but that option is not often used.) This 2 GB is usually somewhat fragmented due to DLLs being loaded in odd places; the JVM heap requires contiguous virtual space, so that's why the max heap size on Windows is around 1.5 GB. I don't know what virtual space BSD Linux allocates for each process, nor whether or not there are fragmentation issues with that space. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
