In IE, if I go to the url it takes one second to show the page, then 9 seconds later I see the applet. In FF, I don't see anything for 10 seconds! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.foodwise.org.uk/index.htm (or any page containing an applet) 2. Wait for the JVM to start / applet to load 3. Repeat with IE (6 or 7) - and notice the improvement! Actual Results: slowness Expected Results: Speed comparable (or exceeding) IE. Hope you can sort this out as it's a major pain for any web developer that uses applets.
