Subject:	Slow Startup / Many Stability Problems / Little installed basis

I am currently creating applets and the main-problems we have is: * Slow initial loading time (for the jvm, not the applet-data). The java-cup animation made the whole thing a lot worse especially on slow computers. * Stability problems: Because of the many components/programs working together broken setups are not that uncommon. * The last problem is that many users have still old jvm's installed. Our applet is 1.1 compatible although all 1.1-jvms have a hard time working with such a large applet (~1000 classes). A real problem is that static versioning WAS BROKEN in 1.5_u6, if a developer decides to restrict the jvm his applet should run on sun should not make this descision for him!
