This has been fixed with the soon-to-be-released Java 6u10 (aka Consumer JRE) release. https://jdk6.dev.java.net/6u10ea.html#Overview https://jdk6.dev.java.net/plugin2/ Though I doubt the startup times for this new plugin will be faster than Flash -- it's still a plugin to the browser and not natively integrated like JavaScript. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
