Yeah, but I'd err on 32bit JVM side :) Gains from more registers are very
specific, but penalty from increased cache/TLB misses is big, and if you
start hitting hard page faults ( that would have been avoidable due to lower
heap size with 32bit JVM ) - even one of those will erase all gains :)
There are reasons why Linux and other stuff is shipped compiled optimized
for size, not with some fancy -O666 option.
