The Image-Fetcher threads may have been a red herring: I am still experiencing this showDocument() delay problem when the only threads running are the main applet
thread and the AWT-EventQueue thread.
The problem doesn't just happen when showDocument() is called but also occurs when I enter a new url in the browser's address bar.
I have also noticed, in terms of the applet lifecycle, the delay is occuring before the applet's stop() and destroy() methods are called.
Is the problem likely to be related to the AWT-EventQueue thread? I've been trying to solve this for nearly two days now - does anyone ple-e-ease have any ideas?
Cheers,
James
