George,

Here is how to do a thread quickly (If you already knew this *sorry*
consider it valuable to others who don't know) :

public class myApplet extends Applet implements Runnable {

  Thread hugeProcess;

  // start and stop happen often.  Instead you could override init and
destory
  // if you use init() and destory() your thread will continue to run when
your applet
  // is minimized
  public void start() {
    if (hugeProcess != null) {
      hugeProcess = new Thread(this);
      hugeProcess.start();
    }
  }

  public void stop() {
    hugeProcess = null;
  }

  public void run() {
    Thread current = new Thread.currentThread();
    while (hugeProcess == current) {
        ...do some code
        try {
          Thread.sleep(100); // sleep can be called with any amount of time
        } catch (InterruptedException e) { }
  }



}

Good Luck
