Jose,

When you start the forms listener (f45srv32), you can specify a number of forms server processes (f45web32) to be pre-spawned. This will cut down on the time necessary to initiate an new instance of a forms app.

You can also tune the amount of Java classes that are downloaded when the applet is first sent to the client. If you have a good network connection (intranet, T1, etc) it is probably best to download a large bundle of classes at once. However, if you have a restrictive network (such as dialup), you can download a minimal set of Java classes initially and have more sent down as they are needed. See the Deploying Applications on the Web book that cam with 1.4W for the exact instructions.

By the way, the Beta of Internet Explorer 4.0 runs simple Forms apps, albeit *very* slowly. I've heard that Netscape is getting closer with the Java runtime in Communicator. Shouldn't be long until the applet viewer is no longer necessary.

Good luck,
