A 64-bit JVM makes total sense because you can get access to really large heaps (well, if you think more than 1.5GiB is a large heap, which I do). IMO on the other hand, having a 64-bit httpd just wastes memory (from pointers, mostly) because httpd itself does not require gobs of memory to run (like Java webapps usually do, or databases, etc.). Running a 32-bit httpd will give you a leaner process in terms of memory as well as potentially faster execution time because more 32-bit data can be transferred at a time between memory and CPU. This is why "compressed OOPs" exist in JVMs - because you need a 64-bit JVM just to get to a 3GiB heap, but if all you need are 32-bit pointers for your Java objects, then you can (almost) have the best of both worlds. https://wikis.oracle.com/display/HotSpotInternals/CompressedOops > Worked perfectly.
