Perhaps the Java plugin (Sun 1.4.1_01) is doing a security check? Browser also jumps to 100%CPU for this duration. This works fine for 2nd and later calls from Javascript to Java. This happens in Netscape 7 as well. It doesn't happen with the same Sun Java in IE 6. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

with apologies to Sun... Here is a zip of an HTML page and a java applet (based on Bubbles) that displays the problem. The first click on the "reset" link will hang for about 10 seconds. The applet simply writes "reset" to the console when it finally gets called. 2nd and later clicks on reset happen immediately.

javascript function to demonstrate the bug: The second alert takes a long time on the first execution of the function.
