--------------------------------------------------------------
There is a slight memory benefit to using a 32-bit JDK when using smaller 
heaps, mainly because the references are 32-bit and not 64-bit. But if I recall 
correctly, there is an option you can use on a 64-bit JDK to get it to use 
32-bit references (and consequently also restrict the size of the heap you can 
get), though that option is probably only relevant for the Oracle JDK and not 
OpenJDK (you could check the sources and see, grep the sources for an existing 
-XX option - you should get one hit, and all of the options are in that same 
source file). Personally, I wouldn't attempt the hassle with running a 32-bit 
OpenJDK on Linux, I'd just go with the 64-bit.
