Microsoft's client operating system are configured to give much more 
"attention" to foreground applications and much less to background tasks 
(i.e. services...).

If the machine is used for other intensive foreground tasks - and any Java 
app is one, even some screen savers - the time the OS allows for background 
tasks may be much less.

A client OS may be modified to work much alike a server one, modifying the 
registry - but I would not recommend it, and it will slow down foreground 
tasks.

A separate machine, even an older one, with a Windows server OS - if the 
license price is not an issue - or a Linux OS is IMHO a far better solution.

We treat our source code as our most valuable asset, and manage it 
consequently.
