    Yes, well and responsive, but....

    after few active (very active) minutes as any Java app consumes your memory, swap and starts working 0.5fps. And from that point in 10 minutes it didn't go anything better. Actualy first wrong response was when LG tripled menu.

    Would be interesting if it wouldn't be in Java. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Java as long as it is used for standalone desktop application, but writing desktop or server service in any language that has sloppy memory is plain stupid. These work non-stop.
