this has been mentioned countless times on the mailing list and I have tons of numbers comparing client to server in my article on the resources page of tomcat. if you want hard numbers, I would suggest look at the article, or run some stress tests on your own apps. a quick test will give you hard numbers to prove/disprove the benefit/non-benefit of running in -server mode. i hope that helps peter

I was reading the stories here: http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45250 http://www.kano.net/javabench/ Summary: Java in server mode is faster than C++ in the benchmarks run. Java in client mode is much more iffy, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, and sometimes the same. So my question becomes - does anybody have any experience running their Tomcat jvm using the -server option instead of letting it default to client? Based on what the tester says, the only downside of running the jvm in server mode is a longer startup time, but the Java code still beat C++ even with the longer times, so it can't be too bad. So anybody have any experience/thoughts on this?
