I'm running a program that does some computations that take about 30 seconds to do when I run it from the processing environment. If I export it as an application, it takes about the same amount of time on my Core2 Duo 3.5 year old macbook pro. If I export it as an applet and run it in Firefox, again, it takes the same amount of time. But if I run the applet in Safari, it takes 15 seconds to compute.

Does this have something to do with the fact that Safari is more tightly integrated to running in 64-bit mode? Can I change some setting to make my program run this fast in the Processing environment or as a stand-alone app as well?

Thanks.
