Eliminate all Java applets unless you really, really, really have a need for it/them. Nothing infuriates me more (well, a few things do) than to spend ten minutes trying to start a page's Java applet, possible crashing my browser and CPU (especially since the big two browser's Java implementation on Mac's is less than ideal right now) only to find it's for a chintzy little scrolling message image that says something timely like "Dewey Defeats Truman."
