Comment 34 for bug 634487

@Peter If you only want to pay the cost of a micro instance, the workaround that worked best for me is to use a 64-bit Ubuntu image, which runs in a micro instance as well. For our apps, though, there is no sensitivity whether Java is running 64-bit or 32-bit, so YMMV. Running 64-bit also causes more memory pressure since a 64-bit app uses more memory.
