When I installed Jamulus it gave me two shortcuts in my start menu. The one called "Jamulus Server" calls the executable with the -s switch. When I run this, what is actually happening? Am I now running a server? And if it's that simple, what are all the other questions in this forum about setting up a server? Why would you want to download, compile, and run the source code?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kelp - good questions! I agree the documentation on Jamulus requires a bit of work to clarify at times, but it's all here, give or take :-)
A short anwswer to your question about running with the -s switch: in my Linux HOWTO I describe the three "modes" that a server can be in. Most of the questions here relate to "private" mode (the default when you run the server on Jamulus under Windows). I think because that involves things like port forwarding and stuff that not everyone might be familar with when hosting a service behind a firewall on a dynamic IP.
I'm working to help improve the documentation at the moment and it would be great to test it out on you for feedback on it once we get going!

@corradosgilgongo - Thanks for that link.
@corradosgronaz - I searched and studied to the best of my ability before asking. I would estimate the time to be about two hours. I certainly saw the link provided, but didn't recognize "setting up a headless server on ubuntu" as relevant to my question.
Neither of these answered my question though. Does the Windows installer provide the same capabilities as the instructions provided by @corradosgilgongo? If not, when would one choice be better than the other?
My ultimate pursuit is to see if I can improve performance. My band and I have followed the instructions and optimizations but still find the solution unusable. Many others say the same, while many others say this is fantastic.
I'm definitely trying to solve this on my own, but networking is not my strength (as I imagine you already guessed!).
Thanks.

If you don't want to switch to Linux, you don't need to compile as Volker already did it for you.
Some settings about Realtime are for Linux, not sure although it would help you.
Beside that, yes, you are running a server and the network info you can find here are relevant (no wifi, you and children and compter(s) on their own don't use internet for anything else while jaming, firewall, portforward).
You can do jamulus.exe -h in a cmd prompt to see "jamulus.exe -s" vs. "private server" is nearly the same : you need to change the shortcut to -e localhost to make it private

Did you dig a bit before asking ?
