Apple's JVM does take the '-server' option. When I last talked to an Apple Java engineer (admittedly this was at the 2002 WWDC), they told me that the -server switch does, indeed, turn on more aggressive in-lining, garbage collection, and other personality changes.

What is lacking in Apple's -server implementation are some of the crazier options offered by other server VMs, like turning off index range checking or null reference checking.
