To run a simple application you have to download a series of jars (mainly javafx jars). I assume this is because the whole language is still in preview (the language reference itself is still in draft). I would think that they will be ironing out these issues once the actual release comes out. Well, I'd go so far as saying that they will have to address the load-times if they want to compete with Flash or Silverlight. It's true that the VM uses a bunch of resources but I think with processor speed and memory being where they're at today, it really isn't much of an issue. A lot of people say Java is ten times slower than C. But then C is ten times slower than assembly. So far, I would say performance is probably on par with regular Java (javafx is compiled into Java bytecode), but the load-times aren't all that great. In spite of all this, I would still say that JavaFX looks pretty promising. Sheehan,

One thing I never liked about Java is how heavily the VM taxes your resources. Performance and usability is key when it comes to client-side applications...does it promise? i haven’t gotten a chance to mess with JavaFX but how is the load time of the application?
