Phew.  Good timing!  Have you signed up for steering-discus or do you know the 
time of the call and how to join in?  It's so late where i am that it's tomorrow 
already.  

Regards from

OK, NOW I'm blown away. I had jdk v.22 (from Ubuntu archives) installed 
as an attempted improvement, and got about a 25% increase in speed. 
Running now with v. 21 Base is unbelievably snappy and crisp. I've NEVER 
had it perform like this for me. THIS is exactly what it needs to be. 
Waaaay better than v. 22.

So, dammit, what will it take to get this fixed, I'm wondering...? I'll 
follow through with that Steering committee phone call business, but if 
the problem's java, then Oracle has to fix it. Well, this is quite a bit 
above my pay grade.

What a fascinating thread this has been. Thanks to all.
