GroovyServ makes Groovy startup time quicker, by pre-invoking groovy as a TCP/IP server.
In the case of scripting in dynamic-type languages, quick response about invocation is very important. Try-and-run cycles is repeated frequently than static-type languages, so sometimes 2 seconds or even a second might be intolerable. GroovyServ reduces the startup time of JVM and Groovy runtime significantly.
