Forgive me if I'm talking about something completely different, but slowness in Flash has been mentioned at least a couple times on this list, both in its own thread and in others. I just wanted to mention that my network has a server and 4 thin clients on a gigabit switch. Even with only 2 clients running, if one is running flash, the other client gets very sluggish feeling. I don't know the cause of this, but I can say for sure that my network is not running at capacity, so I wouldn't recommend anybody running out to buy a gigabit switch hoping this will solve their java and flash problems. I should add though that I haven't tried the Gutsy workaround. Also, while java is really slow on my clients, I haven't confirmed that java running on one client will cause other clients to be sluggish. Anyway, I don't have any new insight to add, other than that increasing your network throughput will not solve all of your problems if they are like my problem, and they do appear to be. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
