It could actually be a 64 bit JVM (I didn't install it) although I suspect not, but as I have no need to push the memory up any further just now, I'll leave addressing that till later.
I'll maybe just make it 1600m or something for now as that should be more than adequate. The server isn't hammered but hosts quite a few apps and that is why the demands on the perm gen space are higher than is typical.
