I know OP is talking about Windows... I've been running server applications on Linux without X11 with -vm-display-null and in-image RFBServer for access to Pharo over VNC. This works very well for me. I believe "real" headless means GUI is not run at all and therefore does not consume CPU cycles, which is very welcome. Meanwhile, maybe -vm-display-null works on Windows for scripting purposes? Pierce
