I downloaded 5 a couple weeks ago, I've noticed a huge performance difference in my Java apps. I'd recomend the update.

same here, plus it comes with an updated web plugin :D

and theres not really 2 versions, theres 1.4 (old) and 1.5 (new), look at the about box it's just like any other program version ;)
