In my experience hotspot ( -server option on linux) is vital to provide enhanced
garbage collection, which otherwise is totally inadequate under heavy load.
Hotspot is also faster, providing on-the-fly compilation of often used routines into
native code.
My apps die without it, ending with an out of memory exception after about 1 million
hits.

OK. So what's the difference between the two options.
How does specifying '-server' alter the behaviour of the jvm ?

This only means, that if you experience any problems with signal 11 errors,
then turn java -server off, this bug should be resolved in one of the next
releases (the problem only exists in jdk 1.3).
