hi Phil,

you are correct; pre6 is slower to load compared to pre5.  Miguel
changed the popupMenu so that it loads when the applet is first
instantiated, instead of when the menu is first clicked.  this was to
remove an awkward 2-3 second delay between right-click and menu
appearance.

to me, it is a fair trade off - but here are my numbers, so...


pre6 to load 1d66.pdb:=20
   1.72 sec (n=3D5)

pre5 to load 1d66.pdb:=20
   0.96 sec (n=3D5)


:-)
