Well you are forgetting that the Client VM is used much less than the Server VM. Since Java 1.5, 64bit server-class machines default to using the Server VM. Indeed, if you're running the JRE on a 64bit Linux box, you haven't even had the Client VM at your disposal for a good number of years now! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
