performance of "image rendering" ? ? ? "passing instructions" ??? that's as meaningful as the banana flavoured lube. ;-) java is a language, flash is a solution. many would like to see an open alternative to flash but since flash is "not microsoft" i think it's below most radars. it's also, as many here have noted, 99.9% meaningless junk; and i'm 100% confident that any flash application could be re-implemented in Java, should needs, must. personally, i avoid flash as a retard filter; remove it and lots of sh1t suddenly disappears. p.s: java's "image rendering" is perfectly performant (assuming you accept java as an overhead in the first place ... of course, flashplayer is just as bad)
