If you want, you could go through these applications

http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/sightings/

Maybe some of them don't suck.

There are also games written in Java (your Java enabled browser can run 
these):

quake 2 port - http://bytonic.de/html/jake2_webstart.html
4 kB games - http://javaunlimited.net/games/java4k_2007.php
some opengl demos - http://slick.cokeandcode.com/static.php?page=demos

Our gamedevs use Java 7 ea, so you could try if it's faster (at least the 
webstart progress dialog is different and can be customized):
