Wow, sounds bad.

Please add OS, browser and Java details, but think you need to wait for Nick to have a look at this one.

I did get a report from your shutdown:

Please increase your memory to 128Mb (the following link shows how):

Usually about 32Mb is sufficient but 128Mb gives room for multiple Java games simultaneously (eg using funkypool and funkysnooker).
