Thanks Mark, also thanks to DJ again.
Mark, if you don't think it is worth the affort I won't spam this
mailing list anymore. Upcoming versions of Windows intend to be x64 only
(no more 32-bit). So I thought it would be interesting to have some
support for those platforms before the release...
However I would keep on trying if I had enough free time.
For now I switched back to 32-bit, as you advised.
Regards, Andreas
BTW: 64-bit JVM is as slow/fast as 32-bit JVM on my machine.
