Java is nice except it usually puts 100% load on CPU :-(. Run xload and you'll
see it. Effectively, it makes my DX-2/66 work as DX-33. Also, it took about 1
min to load all applets & graphics; for people with slow internet link, it would
be longer. IMHO, all this may be OK for an entertainment site, but not for
informative one, as Linux-il home page is supposed to be. I hope the situation
will change as soon as improved java-capable browsers appear.
In fact, I tried once to do something of this sort, but gave up because of the
above mentioned reasons.
