Yes you are able to get copies of the earlier JREs.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html
It takes a little "effort" to find it, since they do not want you to
install the older ones.
Although they have version 6 update 29 as the newest, they do not have
update 28 in the archive.
You have to create an account with Oracle though.
To be honest, if you run Linux, I prefer to use whatever the "default
JRE" is. I went to the Package Manager and searched for "JRE" and I saw
the package called "default JRE".
If you run Windows, or Linux, and do not want to create an account with
Oracle, I have most of the Windows versions downloaded, and could
download the Linux ones. Then I could send the ones you need via an
off-list email.

Hi :)
OpenJDK is also run by Oracle and suffers about the same. I'm not sure about the best version numbers numbers for that either. I don't know if the community that work hard on that are able to free it from Oracle in the way that TDF freed LibreOffice from them.
I don't know if it is still possible to get a copy of the older version of java
from the Oracle website. You used to have to register at their site to get
them.
Java dependence is being written out but you still notice slow-downs in
wizards, some Extensions, the embedded database (best to use a separate
back-end such as Postgresql) and when starting-up LibreOffice

Hi Tom,
I'm using 6u92 :-) But with OpenOffice it's fast. Any hint?
Presently I don't have installed LibreOffice, so I can't do some experiments,
but any guess if I use openJDK?
