FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.4.2+ to 5.0 RC

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

(It's been replicated on other windows OS as well)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This bug has been a problem since Java 1.4.2 (Existing closed bug 4837340) It claims to have been fixed a few times, but it clearly hasn't been solved.

We have an application that consists for multiple Jar files. With a level 5 console debug, a lot of network traffic for retrieving Jar files can be seen. With a clean machine running 1.4.1_07 and below, the applet loads in approximately a minute. With 1.4.2 and above, it takes approximately 30 minutes, which is horrible for clients! We just recently tried the 5.0 RC and it failed miserably as well. Same results.

Here is a snip of the console's initial output. If further output is required, please contact me.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Load any applet. Perhaps previous tests have used smaller sized applet so it appears to work. Attempt loading a larger applet with 5.0 RC.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The applet should not take 1/2 an hour to load. Approximately 1 minute is appropriate.
ACTUAL -
Extremely long load time, and frequent network traffic noted.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
None known.

Release Regression From : 1.3.1
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
