No Windows Server Mode -- Rationale?

I just upgraded to 6.0 and noticed that its no longer possible to use the server VM on 32 bit windows.Can someone please explain the rationale for this design decision?Also, what sort of performance penalty can I expect?Thank you.

You probably downloaded the JRE. That's been the case for a while with the JRE. To use "-server" VM you need to download and install the JDK. At which time you can either just use the "-server" option with the JDK and/or copy the server directory in the JDK to the JRE.
