Java Quick Starter reduces application start-up time by preloading part of JRE data at OS startup on disk cache. [27] Parts of the platform needed to execute an application accessed from the web when JRE is not installed are now downloaded first. The full JRE is 12 MB, a typical Swing application only needs to download 4 MB to start.
