Summary: Slow graphics updates with Jmol applet on OS X / Firefox

Initial Comment:
The most recent versions of the Jmol applet (confirmed in 11.0.RC4) are slow to 
update the molecular display when you click and drag to rotate or zoom a 
molecule.  This results in a "jerky" display even with very small molecules.  
This is only observed when the mouse pointer is within the applet.  If the 
mouse pointer moves out of the applet while still holding down the mouse 
button, the molecule will rotate or zoom without any jerkiness.

This behavior is ONLY observed with browsers that use the Java embedding 
plugin, specifically Firefox (and other Mozilla browsers) on OS X (tested on 
10.4.8).  It has been confirmed by other users (Frieda Reichsman).

This behavior is NOT observed with older versions of the applet (10.9.66).  It 
is not known at which point this behavior first appeared.  A demo page 
comparing 10.9.66 to 11.0.RC3 is available at:

10.9.100 is (still) OK. 10.9.103 is jerky.  (Note: what you put up as
10.9.103 appears to be 10.9.102)

The demo page has been updated again.

OK, try 10.9.103, and 10.9.104, and from that I will track it down.

10.9.106, 11.1.2 and 11.1.5 all display the "jerky" behavior for me.  So
it looks like we're down to somewhere between 10.9.100 and 10.9.106.

I've added 10.9.106, 11.1.2, and 11.1.5 for your checking.

Thanks Bob - the problem doesn't show up in 10.9.100, but continues to
appear in 11.0.RC3 and RC4.  I haven't tested anything newer.  The demo
page now compares 10.9.100 and 11.0.RC3 if anyone else can confirm this.

I've put up four older versions of JmolApplet.jar in
http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/temp

If you could please try each of these, that would be a start. Then I will
give you more to try.

Sorry for not spotting this earlier. If there's an easier way, let me
know.
