Java is slower?

[RickyRombo]

I've checked this out and I think samples make the Java Applet slower. Is there some way to minimize the effect? It pause sometimes for more than 2 seconds on this computer and at school it pauses for 5.

Its certainly pausing, you should send Francois the MFA file.

Thanks

[Francois]

What do you mean pause? The application freezes?

[RickyRombo]

It stops for a few seconds every time you shoot. I pmed you the MFA file, Francois.

What is has to do with is the sounds

Its a problem I have with every java application that runs on my computer and have yet to be able to figure out what causes it.

So while I hope Francois can fix it -- since it happens for me in just about every java application (built with or not with MMF) I think its some setting or something and not really MMF.

but it would be nice to figure it out.

On my machine it seems it freezes every time a sound is launched while another one is already playing.

But I had it freezing also when only one sound was playing (less often though).

Sometimes Java needs to JIT-compile a lot of stuff and can make it pause, but that shouldn't take that long. (and only happen once for each area of the code, so it can't be that)

[Francois]

I do the best as I can for the sounds. I use the "prefetch" method that is supposed to prepare the sound for playing with less delay. Does not seem to work very well.
I also depends on the mobile phone.

It also depends on the mobile phone.

This application is an applet, it's not a mobile application.
