I don't think so.

How much slower?

Most (for me) interesting goodies are not written in Java.
Almost nothing of the stuff I have in daily use is written in Java
or runs under JVM.

You can do X inside a web browser window. Have you ever used it
that way? Would you?

Applets are kind of dead, IMHO. I have not seen
any Applet (beyond newstickers) that I would really need in 
the last year. Javastations are mostly dead. Java on the client
is over. Sun has trashed their Java web server - they
are now concentrating on the Netscape web software.

The only thing to think about would be "redoing" Genera
in Java and getting rid of Lisp. Good luck.
