Yeah, runescape runs real slow on my PC, but then again I only have 1.5GHz PC & a nVidia 6200. [Ubuntu 9.04]

Seems Java / flash apps on firefox have a hard time in Linux.

Make sure you are using the Sun version of Java. Ubuntu used to use GCJ (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/) which is a very slow and incomplete implementation. Now the default is OpenJDK (http://openjdk.java.net/), which is an open-sourced version of Sun Java. I haven't tried it to compare it with Sun Java.
If you have Sun Java, you may want to look at your video drivers.

I have Sun Java installed (removed all other versions). Java isn't the cause of the slow performance - maybe my PC is, or the flash implementation in Linux, or both.
