I don't know what was changed with Java, or when Java caching may be of some use, but this seems to cure the problem with no noticeable slow down for Java display, except that Java is reloaded the first time it is used after re-starting the browser. I would be very interested in what the Java experts can say about this. To demonstrate this caching, use http://icsd.ill.fr/ to search for a group of compounds, then click on the different structural formulae to open jmol displays. The caching problem can be seen with the default installation of Java (1.6) in that the first drawing is used for all subsequent drawings, even though the new CIF has been correctly loaded.

I have a seriously strange problem with jmol (or java?). If I draw a structure by loading a file "local4.cif" as usual like:
jmolApplet(600,'load "local4.cif" { 3 3 3 }; etc...and then I change the contents of my file "local4.cif" and redraw it, the drawing remains the same even though when I "view" the file from the jmol window the new contents are correctly listed i.e. the drawing no longer corresponds with the contents listed by "view" !!!
