Even so, Swing applets (or applications for that matter) run faster with JDK1.1 than they do in JDK1.2, for a variety of reasons. JDK1.1 + Swing is significantly faster than JDK1.2 + Swing (assuming you're using the correct version for each side else it won't work). JDK1.2 added a number of 'extensions' to both the language and Swing components that cause it to be much slower. Yes, JIT's will speed this up, but assuming you have a JIT in 1.1 and in 1.2, the 1.1 system will be measurable faster.
