Something to Remember,


<snip>


Additionally in the case of primitive integers, Java has to
switch them
from Little Endian to Big Endian before sending the CPU instruction,
than back after the instruction is done.


I just checked at
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/html/Overview.doc.htm
l#16703 which states that integer types are stored in big-endian format.
This is the native format for zArchitecture integers.
