I just tried the guest account with this applet using the icedtea plugin.
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html

It did not max out the cpu. Tried same applet logged back in as my
normal user and it maxed out 1 core. It maxes out each dual core in
turn. Fix is to quit firefox or kill/end process java.

May be profile related then.

Bug description:
Using several applets I'm finding the Lucid i386 applet plugin with Firefox 3.6 is using 100% CPU from the time the applet starts. Even if the applet is stopped by closing the parent window the java process continues using 100% of the CPU.
