Same. I built a lot of animations with applets back in the day and if you avoided dependencies (other than what ships with the JVM) and your code wasn't ridiculous, you could get some pretty damn good performance out of it (minus initial load time which did tend to be suboptimal, but manageable). Applets were a pain in many ways but I think the tech gets blamed unfairly for bad performance.
