Java need more startup time then other languges (to actulay compile the program), so if program is small, then it actualy preaty long time comparing to the time of the program. You may also consider running JIT (java -classic) if you have large programs, but it will make startup time env longer. If this "stuff" runs Java GUI, then you may need more then 64mb.
