JRE and Firefox plugin starts strangely slow

[zzwave]

Binary package hint: sun-java6-jre

JRE6 and JRE5 "web start" starts in about half minute, any simple Java applet in Firefox starts in 5(!) minutes and then works slowly. CGJ web plugin starts instantly.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?
