Java apps slow

[Yani]

I run a couple of Java programs and a couple of applets.

Man are they slow.

The chat client can take 15-40 seconds to spit out 7 words at times.

The programs, particularly things like open file/list directory tree at
least X15 slower than standard windows programs.

Any clue how to speed these beasts up?

Xp Pro, P3-933 - 640mb ram

All service pack and latest version of java loaded

It's not the fastest box but it's running these apps at 286 speed... arr
slower.

Try the beta "update 10/n" version instead of the current version. It may
speed up your applications and applets noticeably. I have just installed it
this week and it is working fine for me.
