Jmol Developers,
I made some changes to the JavaScript/Java interface and may be onto
something. I am no longer seeing any wild fluctuation in memory
whatsoever at the URL below. Loading reasonably large files seems to
result in only minimal memory increases. Please take a look and answer a
few questions for me:
a) does http://fusion.stolaf.edu/chemistry/jmol/xtalx load OK for you?
b) does the "waiting for applet" title message disappear within a few
seconds? (You may not even see it.)
c) do the radio buttons work?
d) press LOAD. Everything seem to be OK?
e) load the "maleic.cif (18 models)" file. Still working?
f) at this point, if you know how, can you report how much memory the
browser is using?
g) can you load a CIF file -- perhaps 1crn? [This uses an http:// server
call within the applet.]
h) can you load an "AMS (mineral)" crystal file -- perhaps quartz? [This
uses a dynamic DOM script node to preload HTML data and then pass that
on to the applet using applet.loadInline().]
i) can you get your browser to lock up during any of this?
Thanks very much.

Ah, now the behavior at http://fusion.stolaf.edu/chemistry/jmol/xtalx
(jmol 10.x) is quite different. In that case, loading up maleic.cif,
which has 18 crystals, and displaying the {1 1 1} unit cell produces
an interesting effect. Firefox is cycling on about a 20-second cycle
between 58 and 88 Mb memory usage, picking up about 2 Mb per second
until it gets to 88, then dropping again suddenly to 58 Mb. MSIE is
just sitting at 63 Mb; Opera is just sitting at 56 Mb. I wonder what
in the world is going on with Firefox? Note that this is whith
repeating setTimeout loop of 10 ms. When I change that to 100 ms, the
cycling is still there, just quite slow and not hardly to the same
extent.
Wow, here's something interesting: I do a getProperty auxiliaryInfo,
which gives me the information shown below for each of those 18
models, and Firefox just shot up to 107 Mb and continues to climb to
115 Mb -- cycling now down to 50 Mb and climbing rapidly again. What
could that be about?
