My experience with the Documentation Center in 6.0 and 6.0.1 is that the 
first call to it is slow, but that after that things are faster at a 
given session.

so could the problem be the initial loading of the Java interpreter, or 
some other Java-related initialization, and not just initializing the 
window per se?

Then of course there's the issue of how else to handle this.  One option 
is to write everything in a platform-dependent way and avoid a 
cross-platform tool such as Java entirely.  But that has its 
down-side,too:  increased time to program it, higher cost,....
