hi
i have a small code, and run on both linux and windows machine.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class ArdalanResim extends JFrame
{
 javax.swing.ImageIcon icon;
 Image image;

 public ArdalanResim()
 {
   icon = new ImageIcon("background.jpg");

   JPanel panel = new JPanel()
   {
     protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
     {
       //  Dispaly image at at full size
       g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
       super.paintComponent(g);
     }
   };
   panel.setOpaque( false );
   panel.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(800, 600) );
   getContentPane().add( panel );
 }

 public static void main(String [] args)
 {
   ArdalanResim ar = new ArdalanResim();
   ar.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   ar.setSize(800, 600);
   ar.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
   ar.setVisible(true);
 }
}

on windows box, code runs fast (about in 1-2 seconds) but in linux it
takes 7 seconds to see the background.jpg. after investigating of code,
i see that the "icon = new ImageIcon("background.jpg");" causes the
delay. i tried on Debian Etch and Fedora Core 4 linux (p4 machine).
what should i do to make it faster?
thanks.
