Step 1: There was recently somebody who complained of slow speed to type into LW's search box. They had an eMac with just 128 MB RAM. I think the minimum requirement of OS X is 128 MB ram! That doesn't leave much ram for anything else. Go check how much ram u have, go to the apple icon at the very top left corner, press, select About this Mac, then press more info & select the 1st on list (ram). This will tell u how much u have. eMacs have 2 memory slots & can have up to 1 GB ram.

Step 2: If u feel ram is not your issue, make sure your Java is up to date. Go to System Prefs & press Software Update. Once it scans, if it shows Java on the list, tick it & update

If u still feel these are not the answers to your problems get back to us. If steps 1 & 2 don't apply/fix your problem try the following: Step 3 (press link) or if still problems try Step 4 (press link) Tell us how you go.
