Summary: Extremely Slow Start Up with JRE 6.0

Initial Comment:
I've got the latest version of Dr. Java. I also had the latest version of the JDK and JRE installed. However, when I tried starting up the program, it takes about 3 full minutes for a splash screen to come up, and then another 7 for the actual application window to come up. The program itself runs very smoothly when it does come up though. My computer is relatively new, so I'm assuming it's not an issue with that. I've got a full GB of RAM and the AMD 4200+ X2 Processor. I also ran the dual-core optimizer. Running Windows XP SP2 w/ all latest patches, but I'm almost certain there's no problem with that.

I tried uninstalling the JDK and JRE and installed JRE 5 Update 4 along with the corresponding JDK. That worked perfectly fine with no abnormal slow down. When I tried installing just the JRE on top of that, the major slowdown occurred again when I tried to launch Dr. Java.

Also, when I'm referring to slow down, it's just Dr. Java itself that takes a long time to load up, everything else loads up perfectly fine. 

While I for the program to start up, Task Manager tells me it's a process, but of course, not an active application, showing that it is indeed loading in the background.
