      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.6.0_17"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Windows XP SP3 with latest Windows Update

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Installer should turn JQS off by default, or should not overwrite JQS setting during installation.
      Because when JQS running, my laptop extremely slows down.

      Laptop specification: HP Compaq 2510p, Intel Core2 Duo ###@###.###GHz, 1GB RAM

      Without JQS, my laptop running like follows.
       - Explorer launches within one to three second(s).
       - Internet Explorer launches within five to ten seconds.
       - Firefox launches within ten to fifteen seconds for first launch, three to five seconds if the firefox on the cache.

      With JQS, my laptop running like follows.
       - Explorer launch took 10 to 40 seconds.
       - Internet Explorer launch took 30 to 70 seconds.
       - Firefox launch took 90+ seconds even if it should be on the cache -- launch firefox without any other applications, just after system boot. firefox displays empty page. IMO, there are enough memory to cache firefox.


      I just re-installed whole Windows XP, but this issue reproduced!

      When JQS turn off through Java Preference on Control Panel, the system back to normal.
      However, JRE/JDK installer turns JQS on every time. It should not a default behavior.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Turn on JQS from Java Preference on Control Panel (It's default behavior; I have to turn off every JRE installation for recovering this issue).


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Just turn JQS off.

      But I don't want to turn this feature off for every installation. The installer should not turn JQS on if JQS already turns off.
