I agree with you. My surprise comes from the fact that I thought that a local
server could be a good way to test the website before putting it on a
webserver. With the restrictions firefox puts on localhost, it's not the way
to go (at least with that browser).

Yes ! Imagine scrolling over a list of 100 residues name, each of them firing a
mouseOver event that sends a script to Jmol. The response is immediate with
safari. It's unbearable with firefox with the useCommandThread on (the display
becomes inactive for seconds)

Sure, that's what I woulds normally do. The test was intended to find out what
is the minimum response time for the applet, and it allows comparisons between
browsers/configs, which could be interesting.
I'll try with the new signed applet. In case it's not satisfactory, I think I
will implement a kind of script stacking, that would store pending scripts
while the applet finishes the current script and would fire the pending scripts
in one row, afterwards.
