J2SE 5.0 plugin and slow applet load time

Folks,
I have an applet (https), with about 5 MB of jar files. After we
moved to J2SE 5.0, the load time seems much slower. It used to load in
40 seconds. Now it loads in 4 min.
An odd thing I noticed is when I minimize my Internet Explorer window,
the applet seems to start up quickly again.
Is this possibly related to the "starburst logo" progress bar
animation that Sun now uses for applet start ups? I know that
animated gifs can sometimes chew up quite a bit of cpu time.
I think the progressbar property is no longer in 5.0
I'm running on a single proc laptop. When I run it on my 2 proc
server, it is not as obvious, and startup time seems reasonable.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm also seeing a similar slow applet startup time. CPU is 100% (IE is in high 90s). Works ok on my 3GHz P4, but is very slow (up to 16 minutes) on 400 MHz P2.
My problem seems to be related to how my .properties files (23 total, for internationalization support) are handled.
During start-up in JRE 1.5 I see the following for each .properties file:

The file (1 of 23) I supply is named fax.properties (the default file). Since my locale setting are English/US I guess the I18N code is trying to figure out if the regional files are present. Each of these requests is timing out 5-8 seconds for each - it builds up quickly.
I haven't been able to find out why this is happening or resolve the issue. I'm close to restricting my applet to only 1.4.2 as that was fine and posting this as a bug.

Java 1.5 and slow applet loading

Ever since i switch to Java 1.5, i have noticed that the time to load an Applet has increase dramatically..even small simple Applet. What would normally takes me 30 seconds to load an applet now takes me at least 3 to 4 minutes.
As it turned out..this bug was reported. It appears that the new Java applet logo (cool) was the culprit (probably because it's severals large image?). Java say they have a fix for the bug, but the fix wont be available until the 4th update release (urgh).
I need 1.5 JRE (for work and other stuff), so i can't just simply revert back to 1.4.2
One soultion i found is to replace the logo; however..i'm the client and does not have access to the code, so i can't do this. Anyone knows of a solution taround this until the 4th update release?
I'm shocked to find that such a serious bug was not discovered before the relase of 1.5. I think those folks at Java is too spoiled and forget that some of us (clients) still live in the dark age of 56k modem (no satalitte, cable modem or DSL avail in my area).

You think it is normal that it takes 30 seconds to load.
I think it is a programming problem. You should not import a lot of package.
Applet are supposed to be light, it is not like programs it is normal when you're on 56k (of course aol steals some of those bandwidth by sending you advertisement) and it's not my applet..it's one of a few applet s that i encountered when surfing the web..so i have ano control over how it is implemented or designed. Even small one that do simple stuff like display a hello world takes forever to load.

Mail has 16k messages, and performance is very slow, with loading times taking up to 5 seconds every time I open Mail. How can I increase performance?

One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.

How can i reduce applet loading time?

I have recently begun converting a gui application to an applet. The problem i have is the loading time of the applet which can be several minutes.
The gui has a progress bar which tracks the loading of the classes, images and sounds etc, once this is up and running the loading time is fairly short, however it takes forever for the gui to actually begin to display.
The code for the classes is only about 150K altogether, there seems to a period of long modem inactivity once the applet is initialized before the gui is displayed.
How can i reduce the time it takes for the applet to initialize before the gui is displayed, otherwise users will thing nothing is happening and not bother loading it.
the applet is currently at http://www.winnieinternet.com/games/startrade2095/applet/startrade2095.htm
if you need a demo of the problem, although the applet is still work in progress.
Many thanks in advance for any help

Some suggestions could be:
1. Bundle all classes and resource files in a jar file.
2. Try to preload the heavier files (e.g. sound files) in a background thread, instead of init() method. See an example for this in Sun's Java tutorial, under the trail 'Sound'.

Slow page loading / Time outs

Hi guys,
I am getting very slow page loading times. This only started to happen today, before this my connection has been solid.
I have reset the router, all the other PCs in my house are having the same problem. I am not running any P2P/Downloading software.
Speedtest says I am connected at 12MBPs. It takes me a very long time to load a page and most of the time they just time out.
Router stats -
ADSL settings
VPI/VCI 0/38

Flip4Mac Beta, Slow WMV load time?

Just wondering if anyone else who is using Flip4Mac Beta Universal is experiencing slow load time when loading a WMV movie file. I loaded a 1920x1200 606MB video file and that might be why. Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing slow WMV load time.

Like you I've noticed that when working with larger media files it'll slow down loading and other aspects. Especially moving through said files by fast forward/reverse.
I wouldn't exactly call it too bad though. QT native files get slowed down the larger they are too.
Don't forget it's still a Beta.

Still pausing and slow to load pages

I've upgraded to Safari 3.1.1, but I still get long (many second) pauses as pages load. It can take 20-40 seconds to load up the home page for a site like www.imdb.com, 20 seconds for CNN, etc. The blue progress bar will just pause for long periods before finally finishing.
My system is a Mac Pro on a cable modem. I've reset Safari completely with little or no affect to the loading time. And I don't have any problems with the speed of downloading files, interacting with iTunes, or any other network applications.
I also have a Windows laptop, and I have no problem loading web pages in IE. It's only Safari on the Mac that is slow.
Is there any way to somehow monitor what the program is doing during the apparent pauses?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Here's another post from the guy who had the DNS server code solution. This is for 10.4 (Tiger)
Network panel in Tiger is different than Leopard.
Follow these directions:
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
-Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, if you live outside the US enter 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box - these are Opensource DNS codes. and select "apply". If you live in the US use Verizon's 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 public codes instead of the OpenDNS codes.

Audio out of sync with elemental plugin, and slower than my i7!!!

Maaannn!!
I just got a PNY nvidia quadro 1800 with elemental accellerator plugin. I just transcoded 2 hours of HDV straight from premiere 4 with Adobe Media Encoder using the Elemental codec and the audio is out of sync. It plays out of sync on the Blu Ray disk, and in Encore4. The audio is perfectly synced in Premiere. I just did another project a week ago without the Elemental, using the default Main Concept encoder and the audio is perfect. I am pretty sure I have the latest version of the Elemental Accellerator because there is a button to check for updates and it says there are no updates available. Does anybody know what is wrong here?.
The transitions are getting messed up. I can see a small section with the audio synced, then the video repeats after a second throwing them out of sync. I also suspect that the Elemental accelerator does not process any faster than the default h.264 for Blu Ray encoder. I hope I did not waste my money on this nvidia quadro 1800..
Whoooaa! I just woke up and checked the transcoding time.. To transcode approximately 2 hours of HDV it took 6:35 (hr:mm) with the elemental accellerator and it took 5:09 with my i7 920 chip!! Was that nvidia card a waste of money, or what?!!! Between the slower speed and the audio out of sync, I'd say I made a BIG misteak.. Does anybody want to buy a PNY nvidia quadro 1800? it'll be on ebay very soon..
Win7 64bit, Master Collection 4, i7 2.66 Ghz, Kingston Triple Channel DDR3 1600Mhz 6Gb, ASUS P6T, PNY nvidia quadro 1800.....

Thanks Neil,
I don't think my audio interface has anything to do with it.. I am using Adobe Media Encoder for the export and the Audio interface's latency has nothing to do with it.. I see the source of the problem but not the solution.. The Elemental plugin is not working properly with the transitions in Premiere. The transitions are visibly botched and the sound is in sync for a partial second of each clip, then the video skips backward as the sound keeps playing. This happens on every clip after the transition.
Whatever you were talking about might have to do with some kind of real time export, but to where? I think Premiere might have some auto plugin delay compensation for audio tracks.. I dont think you even read my post.. My MOTU 896 Mk3 audio interface has a 128 sample buffer leaving a few milliseconds of latency, and I can set it as low as 64.. This still has nothing to do with my problem.. Thanks for your input..
I am curious to know what you thought I was capturing elemental streams and audio from my interface in real time to.. I was unaware of anything that works like that in this type of editing..
The bottom line is that my i7 chip gets the job done much faster than the quadro 1800, and that's a shame that I spent the money on the 1800.. On top of that it doesn't even work properly!!

MLB.TV / streaming stuttering and slow to load - no problems with Comcast Xfinity

3 years ago, I had 15/5 FIOS and had trouble with slow load times for streaming services including Netflix (we now all know about those problems) and MLB.TV (heavy user). I switched to Comcast (to try and fix the issues as well as lower price) and had a very good experience. Very fast load times, no stuttering, good up times.
As Comcast prices have risen in my area, I decided to try both side-by-side to compare. I had 50/25 FIOS installed but kept by 25/5 Comcast Xfinity running as well. Other than the modem, I'm using the same 1 Gbps Ethernet switch all over my house and ALL of my devices (Roku, streaming DVD, etc) are directly connected via Ethernet. No wireless connections and all of my devices have been power cycled for a clean boot with the new system. The only difference is the modem and the source of the broadband pipe.
The good news is that I'm getting 60/30 service with good ping based on several download sites including the FIOS test site. The bad news is that the MLB.TV and other streaming services on FIOS are all stuttering like crazy ... sometimes the stream pauses all together. Obviously this is unacceptable for watching sports or movies.
The FIOS stream takes a relatively long time to load (5-10 seconds) compared with Comcast "instant" start and will often stop, buffer for a few seconds, jump back, and then go forward for 30 seconds ... running out of buffer and starting again. Other times it will play but at a reduced bitrate (pixelated resolution). None of these problems exist when I use the (still active) Comcast connection and modem. I had these problems with FIOS 3 years ago, and now they have immediately remanifest when switching back. I'm frustrated.
If this continues, I'll need to cancel Verizon FIOS and continue with Comcast ... the price difference isn't worth it.
Any thoughts from support? thanks.

That would not explain why switching the coax/modem back to Comcast resolves the problems, both in buffering speed and stuttering.
This is not on a PC, this is on a network device like a Roku or Blu-Ray player.
If it were on the MLB server end I would be having trouble on my PC at other sites (I can generally stream over WiFi elsewhere) and the issue would not resolve itself by switching providers.
Also, I had this problem with FIOS 3 years ago ... so it is not something recent.
Thanks though, any other ideas?

Slow BIOS load times

Hello, I own a T420i and have been experiencing very slow load times on startup. The "ThinkPad" BIOS screen stays active for roughly 5-10min before continuing like normal. Once operational the computer works fine other then an occasional freeze up (which becomes extremely annoying with a boot time of 10 min).
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Epitome, welcome to the forums,
do you have any external devices, especiall USB storage, attached to the system when booting? If so please detach them to see if you experience the same problem.
If the system boots normally please exclude the USB devices from the boot order in BIOS; the system may be scanning them for boot information before moving on to start from the main hard drive.

Slow Slow Slow page loading times using Iweb......

I used Iweb to create a photo gallery / web site and it loads very slow...I expect the images to load slowly but even the text hangs up a bit. It is worse on IE and the layout is messed up on Firefox....is there a way to make a website created on I-web uniform for all browsers and of course load and unload faster? I have cut my image files down in half ...they are about 400-600 kB (JPG) each but they still load slow...not to mention an annoying white block where the image and text is loading?? Any help from a seasoned I-web vet?

Hi,
I faced same troubles. Read through my thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1131543

Broadband + Slow Safari Load Time speed tweek

Give this a go to see if it improves your slow loading Safari.
* QUIT Safari before typing these commands into terminal
To add this speedup behaviour:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 0.001
To remove this speedup behaviour:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 1.0
Launch Safari again and give it a go. If not helpful, quit and enter the last line given above to remove the behaviour.

If this is a wizard generated form, was there any modification made ?. The jbInit
code by default sets up the InfoProducer objects. The ApplicationModule is then
created and queries executed when the publisSession method is called on the SessionInfo
object. This publishSession by default happens after the jbInit code. I would imagine
the publishSession method to take more time in comparision to jbInit code which
typically instantiates the UI elements and creates your form. Is there any other
setup that happens in jbinit ?.
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs
(which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation. Could you provide more info., on what you mean by navigation ?. Is is the setup of
the navigation bar and menu you are referring to ?.

Slow initial load time - URGENT

I created some business component forms in jdeveloper 3.2.3. For some reason, it takes 15 seconds to load any of the forms for the first time (afterwards, it only takes 2 seconds). I get the same timings regardless of the number of rowsets I use.
It takes 15 secs for a screen with 1 rowset and for a screen with 5 rowsets. It also is slow running in jdeveloper and in production.
That is unacceptable for my end users (they are ready to reject the project because of it).
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs (which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation.
Is there any way to speed up the initial load?
TIA.

After starting up, it seems to get slower and slower until it times out

It starts up fine, but then it gets slower and slower until it either freezes or it times out.

Slow image load time in web browsers. My images load too slowly.

Hi, My images are loading slowly in my site. They are png and all under 600kb. Should they be jpegs (they are photos) Can anyone advise?

I would do a few tests, I think you might be fine with the High setting, but also try a little lower if you can to conserve load time. It would be good to get your files to around 120kb each.
A .jpeg file is the way to go, as .png files tend to be 20-40% larger.
Here is an image that is set to 730x486- saved as Medium - Quality 50 - jpeg - final size 99 kb
