For what sorts of things? Using the client VM or the server VM?
(there is an option to let you choose, the server VM did more
optimizations and thus used to have slower startup, thus be slower
for tiny little apps but faster for longer running or calculation
intensive apps, but the difference in startup seems to me to be
almost invisible and for long running biginteger apps the server
optimizations can give substantial increases in speed for my code)

website/webpages that rely heavily on java ... on my laptop.
