If Bill's client is sure to run the platforms that MS IE runs on, then this is not a consideration.
My client is interested in Java for its cross-platform strengths. I think that modern machines are fast enough to encrypt the amount of data involved even running interpreted Java (assuming something like 3DES). JITs will only help.
