I noted one big problem with Java on 64 bit Ubuntu: it was *very*
slow. The system was generally more slow than 32 on the same
machine... not so good experiences with 64bit Ubuntu... seemed to be
memory issue, but not sure...

That said, I'd suggest you do not use IcedTea... it's not stable yet.
Use instead Sun's Java 1.6:

Kind regards,

Egon
