is the java better in 1.1?? because i think java is very bad in the safari in jaguar. it may work about 30-60 minutes, then he hangs up! and i hate it! especially when it comes to java chat..

I haven't noticed much Java performance boot under Panther actually....

If I go to a site that has a Java Applet, I can't use the applet or it slows the entire machine down and eventually freezes up Safari.

I have to close out Safari by going to the App Monitor and force quitting.

Of course, I seem to have to do this anyway after a full day of using Safari - I actually just asked a question a little bit ago on here if that was known behavior or if I was doing something wrong.

It is a shame because Safari is so much better for general use than the other Mac browsers - but this problem is truly awful for those of us that use web applications where it is not a good thing to crash/freeze in the middle of it (trading stocks as an example).

I've never noticed any problem with Java/Safari on Jaguar/Panther. Maybe Safari is not to blame, but rather Java itself... I've been told the new Java 1.4.2 update (you can download the developer preview on ADC) fixes a lot of issues with Java.
