That's probably going to be the machine. :) Jscript
is still available on
the MS website and I think the
current version is 5.6 and it is compatible
with XP.
I last checked a month ago.
FWIW, I have an old 1.1ghz laptop that
I use as a
print server. When I boot it up to print something, I
walk away
and return about 10 mins later. If I use IE
to get into webmail and that
takes another 5-10 mins.
You could probably experiment with a ram drive and
send your temp directories to it, (like the java cache,
and the windows temp
directory.) When I did that on
slower machines, it made a noticeable
improvement
in speed. Now, with machines as fast as they are,
I have not
been able to notice a significant improvement
with those ram drives. You
could also try a USB memory
stick to accomplish the same thing, although you
would
have to wait until the usb drivers get loaded up.

Subject: [Shop-talk] OT - Java is sloooow
OK, since we're on
computers, I have a real problem with Java applications.
Anything written in
Java takes forever to load, and boy am I sick of seeing
their stupid little
coffee cup for minutes at a time while waiting for a
weather map or some
business data site to open up. When the evil Microsoft
empire had their own
J-script Java substitute in Windows, everything was fine
and Java apps ran
fine. Since J-script was eliminated and I have to use
actual Java, Java apps
are glacial.
