That's good. So do you think the extremely slow multiple load time is
due to something else? We need to look into this. Some experimentation
might give some hints.

I'm wondering if we can solve the "multiple applets on a page causes
VERY slow page loading" problem by loading just one major piece and a
bunch of very low-budget accompanying applets.
This seems to me to now be the ONE major disadvantage to using the Jmol
applet vs. using Chime. With Chime you could have as many windows on a
page as you like, and it all loaded just as fast as one, because the
single already-loaded plugin was controlling all windows. The question
is whether there might be an applet-equivalent of this.
Brief comments ...
The code for the classes themselves gets shared across all instances. That
is, the .jar files only get downloaded once and the .class files only get
loaded into memory once.
(note that 'static' class member variables are shared across all java
processes ... and therefore must be treated with care in order to avoid
race conditions)
I think that the browser has quite a bit of overhead for each applet ...
unfortunately.
