Netscape Navigator 4.0 and above achieves a faster startup time by

deferring Java loading until the first Java-savvy page appears.


The Flash plugin for Netscape can use LiveConnect, and so will register

Java if it is not yet loaded.


There's not a way within the EMBED tag to tell Java to keep sleeping. The

first viewing of a Java-savvy page in a Netscape 4.0 browser will start

Java.


(Sidenote: The Director engineers found a way to hide the

LiveConnect-awareness of their plugin. This ability is not yet in the

current Flash plugin.)


For your own work, consider setting a Java-savvy page as your startup page.

This will put the Java initialization back at the beginning of the session.
