Java

[Calum]

Hey guys.
Is there any way to stop Java slowing down my system?
Any time I have to load Java in my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.2) it really slows down whilst loading.
It's also slow whilst I am on the page, and after I've finished using it I have to restart Firefox to get it back to normal speed.
Using the latest Java version.
Any way to avoid this?
Or am I stuck with it?
If you need more info I'll try to provide it.
Thanks in advance.
Calum.

Well, I am not to sure as to why Java would be that slow, but I do know that Java is a slow language. Name a few sites that are doing this.

Absolutely anything with Java.
The CH Chat, Java version.
The Java chat on my site.
Anywhere there is Java.

hmm...I really don't know why that would happen, when I opened the chat program on your site, it's not really all that slow. It took about 4 sec. for me.

It takes maybe 10-15 seconds to load, then goes quite slow afterwards as well, like when I scroll.
It slows down Firefox too, like on other sites it goes slow when that's open.
This continues until I close Firefox and start it again.
I can't do anything whilst it is loading as well.
Thanks for your replies.
