Right. The discussion has always being on the idea that the applet 
should load only when the user chooses so. One option is an image (if 
we could manage to have it generated by the server, which is 
unlikely), another is a link or button.
I personally like the idea of Jmol being part of the ChemBox (I guess 
it is called something like that). Some chemicals have links to 
PubChem, or expansible boxes with formulas, details, etc. There could 
be a link like "see in 3D" that would open the Jmol applet either 
inline or in a separate page as Chris proposes.

For example, the Toluene page has this, using Template:Chembox

{{chembox
|   Name = Toluene
|   ImageFileL1 = Toluol.svg
|   ImageSizeL1 = 80px
|   ImageFileR1 = Toluene-from-xtal-3D-balls.png
|   ImageSizeR1 = 150px
|   OtherNames = phenylmethane<br/>toluol<br/>methylbenzene
| Section1 = {{Chembox Identifiers
|   SMILES = Cc1ccccc1
|   CASNo = 108-88-3

  }}
| Section2 = {{Chembox Properties

|   BoilingPt = 110.6 °C

  }}
| Section3 = {{Chembox Structure
|   Dipole = 0.36 [[Debye|D]]
  }}
| Section7 = {{Chembox Hazards
|   ExternalMSDS = [http://www.sciencelab.com/xMSDS-Toluene-9927301 
ScienceLab.com]
|   MainHazards = highly flammable
|   NFPA-H = 2 
|   NFPA-F = 3

{{R67}}

  }}
| Section8 = {{Chembox Related

}}


How about a new parameter for Jmol inside  {{Chembox Structure ?
