With barely a care for anything else...  My comment was not particularly
aimed at Java, but there are many times I've been using a computer only
to have one program bring it to its knees, and prevent me from doing
more than one thing at once.

Whether that be Java, or Flash, or anything else.  It seems far too
common that a programmer would not care that their program is
ridiculously inefficient to the point that multitasking becomes nearly
impossible.
