The application loads very quickly (I don't have exact numbers for you). On a machine with only 256MB of RAM, I would guess that you're running into swap issues almost immediately. Whenever you start swapping parts of your VM (and especially your heap) in and out, your performance is going to suffer. It's probably more about the size of RAM than the speed of the processor.

Love the gradients. One quick question. How fast does this application load? I'm working on a relatively simple file management system, which unfortunately, takes close to a minute to load on a PIII 750Mhz processor with 256MB of ram. On higher spec machines it performs o.k. ie, load time less than 15 secs (Vista specs) Could you give me a load time comparison on a similar spec machine? Very, very nice work indeed. Love the gradients.

I'll bet Palantir is! regards, -Frank AC,

On point 1., try Prefuse. I’ll bet Palantir is!

I'm jealous. I wish we had enough time/money/staff to be able to do this level of work. :( On another note, a couple of questions: 1. I sometimes need a graph layout algorithm. What did you all use? 2. On the cosmetic side, what do you do to get the nice concave-glass-looking buttons? An outside artist? Wow, some very polished looking stuff. I’m jealous.

And if so, what is the license ? Thanks Hi,

Very nice apps :-)

Where is it distributed ? And if so, what is the license ?

Thanks
