In my admittedly limited experience, 64-bit JVMs eat way more memory and are barely faster, often slower. Something that did help quite a bit is the hybrid mode: Operations and pointers etc. are all 32-bit, but the pointer references are compressed, which gives you more like 16GB of maximum addressable memory.
