While browsing the web, I happened upon this site that explains the correct way to tune your server for better garbage collection which makes your server run more efficiently. For those who aren't afraid or at least know what they're doing to a degree, follow this to debug your server and find out what settings are truly best for you. For those who are even more brave, do the same testing to your MC client and find out which settings work best so you can improve your gameplay. A full write up by Oracle can be found here.
