Well, I am using a P4 1.5Ghz Gateway system with 640meg of 133Mhz RAM.
I have a master drive of 20gig and a 100gig slave drive. I am connected
through Verizon DSL but I was using the High Speed Roadrunner Cable system
prior and it still had the same problem. I bought the Gateway system back
in 2001 just prior to the release of XP. I think I was using XP Home about
2 months before the official release since it came preinstalled. I have all
the most recent updates from Windows. I didn't notice any significant
slowdowns when I installed SP1 like so many others did.
The problem just seems to happen only when the JVM symbol appears down in
the bottom right hand corner of my screen and it is running a java app via
the internet. I use all the major Browsers except Opera.I even still use
NS4.7 sometimes but rarely IE6. I use Mozilla 1.4 currently but I've been
using Mozilla for a couple of years now, ever since the original Betas came
around.
Are there any settings in my system I should look at that might help? I
let the system sutomatically select the pageing file and things like that.
I keep my system pretty clean, I have alot of programs on it but not alot
running at the same time. I keep my hard drive defragged once they get
beyond 5%. I don't use a partition on the 100gig drive but I was having
this problem before I installed that drive on the system so I ruled that
out.
That's about all I can think of at this moment. If you have any other
suggestions of questions ask. I appreciate the input more than you know.
Thanks tons

It sound like you don't have enough RAM and/or CPU speed. The JVM is a
very heavy process and needs oodles of RAM. If you are teetering on not
having enough RAM, the JVM could push you over and cause lots of
swapping on your system. Does you disk churn a lot when you load Java?

I first bought it. Whenever I am on the net and come on to a web site
that has a Jaava enabled website, my system slows down terribly. It will
initially freeze for a few seconds and then when I am atempting to
navigate the website, it takes forever.
Is there something I can do to stop this from happening?
thanks
