Hi guys,
For a little while now I've been running a Groovy Console in an applet as a way of letting people try a 'live demo' of my Open Source project (before they have to go to the trouble of downloading it).
The demo is here:
http://metawidget.org/live-demoBy all accounts this demo works well on Windows. It takes a little while to download but other than that it's great.
However I have received multiple complaints about its performance on Ubuntu and Fedora. Using the Sun JVM plugin it runs extremely slowly ('laggy', as in menus slow to open), takes a long time to execute the Groovy script, and is generally unusable. Other applets on the same platform work okay.
Could anyone confirm this problem? Is it something in the Groovy console, or just something unavoidable about the JVM plugin on Linux?
Regards,
Richard.
