In 1.3.0-C and prior versions of the plug-in, the java console could truly be
disabled. Output sent to it would not normally cause any performance
degradation, and there was a relatively small maximum amount of memory that
would be consumed by the console even if it was open. This has changed in
1.3.0_01 and later versions. Even with the console "not shown", Applets that
occasionally (or normally) send output to the console will experience some
performance degradation and, more importantly, the output sent will consume
memory and eventually the process that the plug-in runs in will run out of
virtual memory. Please put a tunable "maximum memory" limit on the console
and throw stuff away like the old Java plug-in console did.
