I forgot to post my *theory* Konqueror is an open source web browser. That is relevant because Safari is heavily based upon Konqueror. They apparently have a very special way of dealing with Java Applets. I believe that they launch an entire java virtual machine as a separate process each time that a web page is loaded. I know that if you have a frame with two web pages and applets in each page, then they launch two separate JVM processes, one for each page. What I think was going on with Philip's page is that they were launching a separate process each time the .innerHTML property was being set. This was causing lots of processes to accumulate on the machine. Each of these processes was consuming more CPU and memory ... hence the gradual slowdown. While this is probably a Safari/Konqueror bug, I would be *very* surprised if they would fix it. Why? Because resetting .innerHTML is probably not a very common operation. And resetting .innterHTML with an Applet is probably unheard of. Given that the Safari team has bigger problems to work on, this one would probably settle to the bottom of the stack. Philip, we will get you reloading the models in the same instance of the applet and you will be a happy camper :-) Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
