java-programmer, JRE installation woes Hi All

I have installed the latest version of Sun's JRE on my Windows XP Pro PC.
However, its "performance" is somewhere between abysmally slow and not at
all. If I e.g. open the Java Control Panel module and click on one of the
tabs, it takes over two minutes for that tab to display - this on a 3.4 GHz
dual-processor 4 GB memory PC. Java aplications run no better. It does seem
to "speed up" if I Alt-tab to another program and then Alt-tab back.

CPU load is negligible so clearly, the JRE is waiting for something that
occurs only rarely. But I have no idea where to look.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Ebbe

Ebbe:

Which version are you running? If it is 1.5.0_07, try installing
1.6.0beta2. I have seen similar problems with 07 and others have
reported it too. It doesn't seem to be consistent from one machine to
another however.
