Anyone else noticing the extreme slowness of Java applications on Ubuntu 8.10?

Anyone else noticing the extreme slowness of Java applications on Ubuntu 8.10? I upgraded and was expecting that the seminal Java 6u10 (strike that! 11! ) would do better than this.

I was expecting draggable applets and for the performance of my Java applications to not deteriorate. I was disappointed on both fronts.

If you're having issues with IntelliJ crawling, a lot of people have downgraded to 8.04 Ubuntu.
