it's a general problem with browsers. But I assure you, we have not generally seen this problem with the Jmol applet. Plenty of people use large proteins with it. So either your protein is REALLY huge, or something else is odd about your installation. It could be, for instance, that you have some other page still present in the browser that is eating up huge portions of Java memory. One thing that will help a lot is if you limit the applet window size. Those pixels cost memory. Also, if you don't use translucency you save 50% on Java memory, because in that case Jmol won't use a second buffer.
