Display useful information during Java loading
Status: Alpha

There's a delay of several seconds currently while the Java runtime is
loading up. It would make the page feel a lot more responsive if
something useful were shown during this loading process.
One idea is to show the plain Google results in the frame while the applet
is loading. This means if the user clicked on a google link during the
loading, you'd leave the page, but otherwise it would behave very similarly
to the normal view, just without the preview and page checking.
It could be tricky because the frame's loaction would be set to a Google
URL, which can be hard to change back to a local one because of cross-
domain browser restrictions.
