My own experiences with the server VM on Windows have been rather
less positive. I tried it with one of my own programs, in the hope that
it would run faster. Although it's a desktop application, not a server
one, it seemed like exactly the sort of thing that would be helped by the
server VM: a lengthy, highly CPU intensive calculation where a few
core routines get executed millions of times.
The result? The execution time with the client VM was very
consistent, while the time with the server VM varied wildly. Sometimes it
took exactly the same amount of time as the client VM. Sometimes it was
about 30% faster. And sometimes it was 10x slower. (Yes, you read that
correctly. A calculation that took 1 minute with the client VM would
sometimes take over 10 minutes with the server VM.)
As you can guess, I stuck with the client VM.
