Thank you for those who have reported times. The three tests here were: Jmol 10.0
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/pi/simplejar.htm Jmol 11.1.29 (doesn't load incrementally) http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/examples-11/simplejar.htm Jmol 11.1.30 (not released; loads incrementally) http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/temp/class/simplejar.htm For the most part, users report about the same load times, on the order of 5 to 20 seconds. There was no obvious dramatic effect between 11.1.29 and 11.1.30, which does suprise me. So either this wasn't a valid test (which is quite possible) or we're just not going to see that big an effect in general. People have stated a wish to reduce the load time of Jmol. We are probably at that limit with Jmol 11.1.30. This version loads components as they are needed -- readers, isosurface code, orbital calculation code, protein/nucleic model shapes, etc. The initial load size is now 650 K, down from 1300 K, so at least that SHOULD show some performance benefit. I think I put this issue aside for now unless someone has some more great ideas. Bob Bob Hanson wrote: >I need some help sorting out a couple of things.
