The initial startup is several minutes, but once you have that, things
get better. What is it doing that first-time startup? Creating a
registry. You see, it creates a virtual Windows environment and runs
in that.

It is slow, but it is quite faster than HotJava. Of course, that's
much akin to saying "it's faster than a slug".
