The case for 32-bit Java on 64-bit Ubuntu is no longer officially endorsed as part of Bonsai Framework for Enterprise work.Where may be useful, is for personal use to significantly reduce memory footprint. This becomes especially important on the cloud/hosting where memory is the main driving cost. not that popular, however, on Cloud where memory is a premium it is pretty damn useful.

For example, originally Confluence on 32-bit required less than 1GB of memory while 64-bit was 2x. Modern Java versions may fix (I've yet to verify) this Some readings cite Java 64-bit have improved memory performance using compression type scans. In my previous experience, there was a cost to this, but it may have been mitigated now (Nov 2016) through optimization.I'm looking at this over December 2016 so stay tuned...but as of Java 64-bit 1.8u92, this is still not the case.
