Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is an “application” layer which java applet interface with lower level services of the operating system. Some of the references which you can get more info about JVM:
On Mac Os X, Java doesn’t run on a runtime environment, but it is sort of build in to the Mac Os X. (I stand corrected, this is just from my little reading.) Therefore, that means Java on Mac Os X is FAST. Well, that is true.
However, on Mac Os X (Jaguar and Panther) browsers other then Safari are limited to JVM version 1.3.1. You can check this by going to java.com JVM test page. Wherelse, Safari on Mac Os X.2 (Jaguar) and Mac Os X.3 (Panther) JVM versions are 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 respectively.
I found a fix for this. You can download Java Embedding Plugin which would make all your Mozilla browsers on Mac Os X to use the latest JVM on your machine. A readme file on the website explains the phenomena of older JVM on browsers other then Safari
