With roughly equivalent hardware, both Macs and Linux are slower than
Win32 in graphics performance.

In addition your OSX 10.2 probably has Java 1.3.1. This is slower than
10.3 with Java 1.4.1.

I have not seen this.

On which browser does it happen.

I am quite certain that it is a browser/JVM bug.

Thanks for the report.
