use -- Cortado is still a little faster in terms of CPU usage, but getting
the applet to actually *run* with the current version of Java is a
nightmare -- even the signed version of the applet from theora.org requires
adding a security exception -- whereas JS or Flash "just works".

For the curious, i looked into the java applet a while back. The reason the
caortado applet from theora.ogg doesnt work without a security exception is
that they signed it wrong. It needs to be signed and an attribute set
saying that it doesnt need extra privs. That attribute isnt set on the
theora.ogg version. Even then it still needs a click through prompt.

Anyways, great work on all this.
