It's less than that -- you only need boolean values for the [Sieve_of_Eratosthenes|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes]. I whipped up some code to compute the primes less than 2,000,000 and it only took a few millis of clock time to run. If space is an issue, you could sacrifice time and use a java.util.BitSet -- which packs 32 bits into an int.
