The new JVMs *are* considerably faster. We realized huge performance gains (one app server that started in 7 minutes now takes 2) and memory usage reductions (on the order of 50% less) by moving to the 32-bit JVM.

The new JVMs are considerably faster - so one should not give this advice, unless applied to an earlier release.

It is a thing you should be aware of, in any case, so you can write your
code to be deployable on any platform. I'd like to do some benchmarks
with the new JVM's to get an idea how things have changed. It might
however, be cheaper to put the frontends on PC's than scale the i up to
deal with full-blown Java apps.
