That seems to be how mathematica does things.  At least, when I have 
compiz turned on, I physically see the static figure be replaced (with a 
window swooping in) by a window that lets me rotate, and when I let go, 
the figure is redrawn as a static image.  Sometimes this is really 
annoying, as I have to wait for the figure to be changed.

In our case, it sounds like we would have to wait for a round trip to 
the server every time we tried rotating things? (or maybe we'd wait a 
few seconds, and then replaced it?)

Is there any chance of making a "lite jmol" that was took much less than 
around 64/10=6.4M of memory?  Surely there is a lot in jmol that we 
don't use or need at the moment.

Thanks,

Jason
