Why execution of jar is taking larger time?

Hi,

I have the signed applet code in JDK1.1, and for the same code base size of jar file is larger then cab file, this is because of insertion of Manifest files in the jar.

Now I am executing the same code using both JRE(jar file) and MVM(cab file). But I am observing time difference between the two executions.

Using JRE 1.5.0_07, times comes out to be approximately 2 times of the time taken by execution using MVM.

Can anyone tell me the reason , why execution of jar is taking larger time then that of cab.

Thanks in advance.
