Please keep working on startup time & footprint!

Hello!
Hoping that some sun-devs read this - please keep working on both startup-time and memory-footprint of both - java-standalone and plugin.
It is still hard for many java-developers when customers ask them why a particular application starts so slow or why it does eat up 30mb if its just a small tool.
If I have a look at the memory-useage of a simple swing application running on 1.5 with class-sharing disables - java eats up more memory than OpenOffice-2.0-Writer compiled with debugging information!
I know the sun is working on this since a long time - the problem is just I do not see much progress.
a.) With each new release footprint increases.
b.) Startup-time was according to sun from 1.2->1.3 about 25% faster, from 1.3->1.4 about 20% faster and from 1.4->1.5 also 20% faster(because of CDS) for typical swing apps.
Well, that means 1.5 should start up in about 55% of the time 1.2.2 would need - a bad joke :-(
Especially the first startup is horrible, when all the java-dlls aren't cached - even on fast PCs. Thats still a quite ugly problem.

this is also a fact why .NET SEEMS faster for client-use.
simply because it starts up in about 1/2 of the time java needs...
