I honestly have no idea how the speed of the Jmol interpreter compares
with the RasMol interpreter.

By saying 'selecting multiple sets of atoms' I assume that you are
referring to atom expressions with OR and AND operations. I don't
understand how RasMol would be slow at that.

Jmol uses a data structure called a 'Binary Space Partitioning Tree' to
facilitate searches in 3D. The main use is during automatic rebonding
operations where you need to find atoms that are near each atom.

Yes, the end user can use mouse gestures to rotate/zoom the molecule while
a script is executing.
