I think that's the default behaviour of the java plugin, to load on start-up.
I'm not sure if that's configurable or not. It would make sense to have the
option to only load it when hitting a java page (like in NS4). There are other
java plugins you could try in place of the one that comes with NS6, it just
that the Sun one happens to be the current default.

It might be because I use the image blocker on some (but not all) pages.
Reading the performance groups it sounds like one of the bloat problems is
caused by gif images, but this is being looked at. I was even loading lots of
big PDF files the other day without causing any problems, despite them
bringing Internet Explorer to a complete standstill. IE has real problems with
PDF, 5.5 is supposed to fix it, but it doesn't.

Strange, I've never got up to 75Megs, and run it all day, every day. The
highest I've got to was about 45Megs, but that was quite a few months ago. Do
you use the mail/news reader? That seems to bloat things quite a bit.

Good plan :-)
