-> Oji 

Which JRE Version ?
Can you upgrade to Jre1.4 ?

Comment 2

[Frank Burleigh]

I also see this behavior on 2002060108 trunk on XP using JRE 1.4.

I would clarify the description, though: in my case at least, it isn't so much
that PC doesn't respond, it's that the page takes a very long time to load.  It
seems all the applets needs to start, then the page itself is drawn.  During
this start time anything in the mozilla suite is unresponsive.

Another page where I see this behavior that perhaps better illustrates the
visual phenomenon is here:

I believe I've filed another bug on more or less the same thing but can't find
it right now.  The example URL for that bug is:

Here is yet another site that exhibits this behavior--extremely slow load time
for the page.  http://www.vca.org.  What would be required to confirm this bug?
 There are many similar bugs in the OJI list, I believe.  Platform is XP, latest
nightly as well as NS7pr1, JRE 1.40.01.

[Michael Gabriel]

right, WFM, but extremly slow
each button is a seperate applet
over 120megs mem usage on that page
reporter, what are your hardware specs ?

Comment 5

[Frank Burleigh]

Michael Gabriel: I believe my note in comment 2 is still relevant: the reporter
probably does not mean to say that the PC is "frozen" but rather that Mozilla is
effectively crippled until it is finished slowly loading the page and its applets.

This bug--and the many that report more or less the same thing--is really about
the slowness of loading java applets on some class of pages, see pages I've
provided and also www.vca.org.

My hardware is 1.2Ghz Athlon, 512mb and XP.  fwiw, IE loads these pages orders
of magnitude more quickly, presumably using the same JRE (1.40.1 in my case now).

Until we confirm some of these, I suspect they will not be touched.

Comment 6

[Michael Gabriel]

mem usage equally high, but performance much better with jre 1.4.1

worksforme Moz 2003052808 / win98SE / JRE 1.4.1_01 / 128MB RAM
