Maybe... perhaps the latest update fixes things, but last I tried it
sucked. Will try again.

Think you're being over critical of Java SE 6 on MacOS.
I just took today's 2.1.4-SNAPSHOT build and it took the same 13
secs. to start under 1.6.0_07 and 1.5.0_16 on my MacBook running OSX
10.5.5.

I'm for moving to a Java SE 6 only runtime for Geronimo 2.2.
I'm not kean on the idea. Java SE 6 has not been out for that
long, relatively speaking and a lot of production environments
will still be on Java SE 5.
Personally I'm in the same boat... One major reason for me is that
Java SE 6 isn't really all that well supported on Mac OS X yet,
while the platform does have an implementation, its slow and
buggy... which does cause problems for many Geronimo developers.
But also, IMO there isn't anything ubersignificant in SE 6 that G
needs to function. The javax.script stuff would be nice, though we
don't really need that at the moment. The java.io.Console stuff
would be good too... but again, not critical for the functionality
or operation.
While I wish Mac OS X (and the rest of the world) would hurry up
and get things kick ass optimal on SE 6 right the *uck now, the
reality is that it isn't and unless there is a significant reason
to make SE 6 the baseline java version I will strongly push back.
