[gentoo-user] Java apps take longer to load than a... I dont know what.
The subject kind of says it all, really. With the exception of OpenOffice, pretty much every Java app I start can take like 5-7 minutes to LOAD! Once its up it runs totally up to speed, but this is on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4. There should be no excuse for this. :) Im not at home right now so I cantt actually attempt any troubleshooting hints you give me right now, but if you have any general ideas until about 5 hours from now, please reply! ~Ian

Once its up it runs totally up to speed, but this is on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4. What jdk/jre did you install? Have you tried another? Are the apps attempting to contact something on the internet, and timing out? Tcpdump or wireshark may help in this case. Finally, an strace -tt java ... might reveal if there is a system call that it is waiting on that is taking a while. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Go to your java control panel and increase the memory to it. That fixed mine. I think you'll also notice a boost in running speed as well.

No problem. I should probably try to make a how-to for this on the Gentoo wiki... what do you think? Is Java's broken-by-default memory management worth it?

I've never had this problem so I'm not sure it's really broken-by-default - may be jre dependant so the way I see it, you're best to file bugs as this should not be an existent issue. -- Neil Isaac [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've seen it in the gnome menu somewhere under preferences or administration or something like that (the gnome menu layout tends to change sometimes). On my system it's called `ControlPanel`.
