Re: Trend towards platform specific languages



Loading iSeries Navigator is ridiculous: a gig of memory and it still takes
over five minutes to load.  I know IBM tries to make it sound like less, but
at least on my machine _all_ activity stops while the blasted garbage is
loading.  It isn't as though you can go work on Client Access while you're
waiting for the stupid thing to start--Java simply brings the entire machine
to a standstill while it's starting.
You must have something wrong with your PC. I am running XP Pro on a 1.7Ghz Laptop.with 61 (Yes that is Sixty One) open windows including such things as WDSC, Firefox, Notes, Notes Administrator, Word, Excel, 123, Acrobat and the LVT (A full Java App). iNav loads in 6, count them 6 seconds. Ready to rock. 

Peformance has been this way for a couple years anyway.
