Applets are loaded from the web server on demand and subsequently cached on the client machine. As long as the applet on the server doesn't change and the applet stays in the local cache, it will not be reloaded. In general, this mechanism seems to work quite well. There may be some browser-specific caching issues on particular platforms, but I am not aware of any.
