Does the Java applet do networking itself? Like requesting stuff over the network?
The main difference between Java in Mozilla and Java in 4.61 is that Java in 4.61 uses Netscape to route all network requests, whereas the Java plugin uses Java's network layer. That might be causing a difference. That's the only thing that comes to mind. You might try modifying the site to use the EMBED tag instead of the applet tag and see if you get the slow down on 4.61 using the Java 1.3 plugin. That would narrow down whether it was a Mozilla or Java problem.
