Daniel, your question got delayed somehow, so my answer comes a little late.

It is the same on my system (OpenSuse 11.4, Firefox 16.0.2, Chromium 25.0).

Generally I would not recommend setting 'spin' on by default with JSmol 
and protein structures in a large canvas because JSmol is about ten 
times slower than Jmol in most browsers in my experience. (At least it 
was several weeks ago.) With JSmol the speed is not only dependent from 
the CPU speed but also from the browser Javascript speed.

Somewhat strange seems that spinning in Firefox is much slower (and 
stuttering) than free rotation with the mouse, which is quite fluent 
with your example protein containing only about 3500 atoms. Free 
rotation with the mouse is also even speedier in Chromium.

Regards,
Rolf
