Hi Mathias, I run Fedora 12 at work, and it's lighting fast on that machine (faster than I've seen on any other machine, including XP and OS X). Yet at home running Fedora 13 in a virtual machine, it's much slower. So in my case the performance seems more tied to the graphics driver (native Nvidia vs virtualized) than the OS or anything else.
That being said, it sounds like your experience is much slower than normal. Since you're running Ubuntu, are you running Sun's plugin, or are you running the IcedTea plugin? If Sun's, what JVM is it? And finally, what graphics driver are you using -- the generic Ubuntu one or a vendor-specific proprietary one?
