Both do just in time compilation, but the -server option uses more optimisation tricks. Sometimes these make a significant difference, sometimes not.
Without the JIT, it would be *very* much slower.

In thanks, I offer a recent (to me) discovery about how to make Java programs run much faster. Instead of java MyProgram do java -server MyProgram It's not entirely clear what the difference between "server mode" and the default "client mode" is -- maybe just-in-time compilation? In any case, I found that it nearly doubled the speed of a small program.
