No need to apologize for how you feel - some people love the idea (of supporting a website with their computer power), some people hate it.
As for the resource overhead of the JVM, it's infeasible to have a bitcoin miner that uses javascript - that was how I did it initially, as a proof of concept, but it was so slow I abandoned it.

Oh good. So not only does it spike my CPU and kill my battery, I also get the resource overhead of the JVM. This is a reverse DDOS.
Sorry if I'm being too hostile, but I like the idea of bitcoin, and don't want to see it become associated with hijacking people's computers.
