Flex 2 Builder's core... Uses 100-200mb of memory
   

it's belongs to SUN, and used by Silicon Image SATA RAID monitor application.

so funny comments here. java kills performance *lol* Software runs "within" java. that software is killing the performance. If your run a game, not windows is killing performance its the game! even if the game runs within windows

Java app. Harmless, and if you are complaining about it slowing down your system, please upgrade your PC! No effect on my setup: AMD Ath 2x 5000+, 1 GB RAM + Cheap hard drive.

"Hello World" in Java+Swing eats up 18 MB. If that's not a memory hog, nothing is! I rank this neutral because it's not necessarily dangerous, but performance may be degraded by useless java apps running in the background. Also, java can be used for trojans just as easily as anything else, so be sure you know *what* programs are using javaw to run on your sys.

You are crazy. It's a (SUN) java process... not dangerous by itself being implemented. 75 MB memory is usual. Buy some more RAM.

It's the java runtime. Programs written in java use it to run.

It Runs Azureus, When you block it all your downloads will stop.

It's Java virtual machine, windowless. Java is a memory hog and prone to be unstable. Coding GUI in Java is hard and the end result is both inferior to native windows GUI and MUCH MORE resource intensive. While a good idea, JVM has bad performance in comparisson to native compilations. You can find java.exe and javaw.exe on your disk and delete them if you want to disable this in a messy way.

to run this file we need an IDE as a compulsory.
