Well, what the runThreaded() method does is to start a new thread for the Javaclient-Player communications (all read() methods will be performed in the new thread for example). What you have to remember is that you will now have to add a small delay in your main loop, otherwise it will execute too fast and it will occupy too much CPU time.
Other than that, you should really check to see if your gazebo is indeed running accelerated, or if anything else is clogging your CPU. The Javaclient examples are really simple in nature so if one works and the other doesn't, chances are that you are missing a line of code or something. :) But since nothing is perfect, you could have also encountered a bug, which I would be happy to fix, provided that we can identify it. By the way, there is a Javaclient mailinglist available for JC-related questions. Although the project is a bit inactive at the moment, it might be that other users could jump in and help you with your problem. PS. Have you tried the same with Stage ? Cheers, Radu.
