067 and java 1.4.1 prob. with OSX 10.2.8

updgraded to java 1.4.1 on OSX 10.2.8 (this update was disabled from apple.com these last weeks and suddenly reactivated today...)
activated the use of 1.4.1, with this one in MRJApp.properties:
com.apple.mrj.application.JVMVersion=1.3+
now, when i want to run a sketch in v067, i get the following exception:
You need to modfify your classpath, sourcepath, bootclasspath, and/or extdirs setup. Package "netscape/javascript" could not be found in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.1/Classes/class es.jar etc...
i will try to use v066, since i guess the import of the netscape classes is a new feature of v067...
(my goal was to check if java 1.4.1 would run faster than 1.3.1 which is painfully slow on a g3-600mhz)

UPDATE...
i solved the issue mentioned before by "injecting" the netscape classes into pde.jar (btw, by using winzip maximum compression, the file can shrink to 376k instead of 728k)
okay, now i that see v067 with java 1.4.1, i can tell that it's even slower than with 1.31 
a little homemade benchmark test (the higher value is the better):
MAC, OSX 10.2.8, Java 1.3.1, G3-600mhz: 61
MAC, OSX 10.2.8, Java 1.4.1, G3-600mhz: 53.3
PC, WIN2K, Java 1.4.1, PIII-450mhz: 82.3
oyve! (an old yiddish complaint)

68 will be more java 1.4 friendly on macosx, but it's true.. it's even slower than 1.3, which was already dog slow to begin with. this is currently one huge disappointment about macs. i hope apple gets on the ball and starts optimizing, the way they've begun to do with finder et al in 10.3.
