Really? How does Emplode work?

1.4 should be faster for things like scrolling in the playlist view. I definitely feel the speed difference in the 1.4 demos ... But I really haven't done much work at all on GUI performance -- I'm sure there are all manner of crazy inefficiencies going on in poor jEmplode.

I agree that Java still has a long way to go ... Think of it this way, though -- Since you're running in a VM, you're basically doing the last few stages of traditional compiling on-the-fly (generation of native code and linking). Still kind of sad though
