There is only one JVM. Since the applets come all from the same page, there is 
only one Classloader which loads the Applet class/classes only once. The 
Loading mechanism is synchronized so that this can not happen more than once.
Loaded classes are cached internally and not fetched again over the network.

This one class is instantiated multiple times though and every applets acts 
autonomosly. I fear, there can be nothing improved on this bad page ;)

That's what's happening now. They do not communicate but they have all one 
creator.
