Freenet itself use huge amounts of cpu...
What about of allow only some functions of javascript ? (I know that you can obfuscate everything but there is always a way to filter that shit). Why don't make a requirements list to see what javascript functionalities are useful and see what functions must be avoided for security's sake? Also is always good to have a test suite to check if the browser doesn't have holes... The last thing is that I remember that java applets can be used with security profiles. There is no option to disallow almost everything dangerous and see what can be allowed safely (and see if they are useful..). The main advantages is that you can have 'search engines' and some database tools embedded on freesites using compressing techniques and some cool visual effects :P (the most close to flash and even can use something like nasa world wind: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/demos/index_applet_text_and_links.html).
