I had a similar experience installing on a Linux box from my W98 workstation. It was horribly slow. dbassist performs equally badly. A mouse click on the W98 box takes many seconds to register. Judging from the blinking of my network lights, it seemed as though there was a ton of network traffic between the two boxes when none was required. I suspect it's Java or JRE related.

Anyone else?
