Nope creation's not in a loop. I'm sure of that. I checked and rechecked, ran the -Xprof and -Xaprof to see if anything was going wrong then, I tried the FileChooserDemo from Sun and that does the same exact thing on my system :-/.
Also i didnt include that I use WinXp.
I would post the code but its the same as what you have stated. However, here is the game's profiled output from it starts to when it makes the JFileChooser to when it hits the title screen.

Maybe that has some clue, not sure what sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.getAttributes0 is. Maybe someone can see something abnormal with this?
EDIT: I tried installing and running it under JRE 1.4.2_05, no difference for either my app or FileChooserDemo from Sun.
