I have this issue also. I am running 64-bit Vista w/ 8Gb.
I uninstalled old versions of java and installed latest (ver 7 update 45) 32 and 64 bit versions (because I use both types of browsers). Minecraft now opens with 64 bit java, but the problem continues, even after bumping allocated memory in the profile to 2G.
I also noticed the javaw.exe remains as a process after closing minecraft. A new javaw.exe is created everytime I open and close minecraft. I am able to close these processes, but it doesn't help the problem.
