you may want to uninstall and reinstall Java and make sure you have the latest one (1.4.2_whatever) from www.java.com . In fact, I would recommend doing that regardless to see if there are fixes in the JVM that coincide with the fixes in your ATI drivers.
Agreed completely. I've had speed problems in Jemplode fixed before by installing the latest Sun Java runtime engine.
