Java Virtual Machine
Some Web sites use Java applets to add interactivity. However, you may notice a significant time delay when a Java applet is loading. By default, Netscape does not load the Java Virtual Machine (VM) when launching Navigator. Instead, it waits until JAve-Enabled page is loaded. This result in the wait message "Starting Java..." and a delay of about 30 seconds. you can avoided this delay by automatically loading the Java VM as you launch the Navigator. Doing so will prevent it from restarting the Java VM each time you browse pages that contain Java applets. With the default installation of Netscape, the command used for this is "C:\Program\Netscape.exe"-start_java You can enter this command in the Run dialog box or edit the current Netscape shortcut.
