What Java are you using? When I switched to Gentoo I decided I didn't |
| 11 |
need Java enough to override its being proprietary, so I don't have it |
| 12 |
installed here and haven't had it installed on Gentoo at all. However, |
| 13 |
back on Mandrake, I noticed Java was /dreadfully/ slow at times on Linux. |
| 14 |
IIRC, I was using kaffe JVM at that time and attributed it to that, but I |
| 15 |
was trying to run broadbandreports.com's Java based speedtest applet, and |
| 16 |
it was simply too slow executing to produce anything even /close/ to |
| 17 |
reliable results. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So it may be the JVM or something Java related, rather than flash or |
| 20 |
whatever. |

Happily, now that Sun is GPLing Java, I should be able to merge a decent |
| 23 |
and freedom software based Java one of these days. I'm looking forward |
| 24 |
to it! =8^) |
