Answer 1

Simply put, the Workstation GC mode improves performance for a single user, while the server GC mode is designed for use on a program that has multiple requests all the time. I truly hope that this question isn't a symptom of a much larger problem. sometimes when people start questioning the garbage collector it's because they're not seeing memory footprint that they were expecting. don't expect great gains with a different garbage collector. In almost all the tests I've done, it's made little difference which collector you are using.
