INFORMATION ON HOW TO ENABLE JAVA IN THE MOST POPULAR BROSWERS.

If you're working on a slow system and notice a significant speed degradation while visiting Java enabled web pages, you can disable Java support to find out if you could gain some speed. Speed degradation occur on slow systems because some Java enabled pages take longer to load, specially, during your first visit. Also certain graphics and math intensive Java applets take a bigger slice of the CPU time, leaving less processing time for your other applications while the applet is in action.

TIP:

If you're adding Java applets to your pages, it's a good idea to view your pages with Java disabled, so you can get an idea what users with non-Java-enabled browsers would see.

WARNING:

Although temporally disabling Java applets could gain some speed under certain conditions, please note that you may also loose some of the web page functionality. Some web pages have backup functions that would fill-in for Java, but most don't.
