title: What is JVM -server parameter?
body: <p>I saw Java -server in <a href="http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/</a> for programming language benchmark.
  I know that -server is a parameter for running JVM. I want to know:</p>
  
  <p>When we use -server parameter and how it work?
  Can we use this parameter for java desktop application?</p>
  
  <p>thanks.</p>
