Do you have adequate RAM allocated to these apps?? Your cable modem should have little to do with how well you handle java or javascript. Until they execute, they're just like other page code you're downloading for display and should come down to your machine fairly quickly. It's the execution that could be boogered up. If you've got lots of plugins (or a few, but one of them is Flash), then you need to bump up your browser's RAM allocation by a bunch. Other possible factors include -- 1) are you having the browser cache on a RAM disk or disk image (w/ ShrinkWrap you can tell it to load the entire image into RAM if possible)? If not, then you could be bogging down due to HD access, especially in the case of NS, which slams your drive with a bazillion files. OR 2), are you accessing a site that's got a bandwidth problem on their end?
