Applet panel changing slow

[Iceman]

I created a panel (p1) with null layout and another panel (p2) in it,
with null layout too. If I deleted all of the controls in p2 and p2
itself, then it would seem it confused the applet viewver. The problem
occurs when I add controls to p2 again. It simply waits too long
before occuring. This happens only with the Sun's version of the
applet viewver, not Microsofts, which is quite odd.

I will add the code if necessary, but outline would be:
Panel p1 = new Panel();
p1.setLayout(null);
p1.setBounds(0, 0, 200, 200);
Panel p2 = new Panel();
p2.setLayout(null);
p2.setBounds(0, 0, 100, 100);
p2.add(new Button());
p1.add(p2);

p1.removeAll();
p1.add(p2); // This step takes too long...

This doesn't happen if you don't use null layout and setBounds, or it
doesn't happen always. Is there any obvious thing I am missing here?

I am working with MS Visual J++ 6.0 (technology preview 2) and Eclipse
2.1.

Anyone who helps - thanks a lot!!!

This sounds the same as the problem shown at:

I reported this to Sun as a bug but it seems Sun takes months to decide
whether to classify a report as a bug.
