I wrote a simple text copy and paste manager based on the AWT's
example code:

if (cmd.equals("Copy"))
{
// Implement Copy operation
String srcData = textCanvas.copy(false);
if (srcData != null)
{
StringSelection contents = new StringSelection(srcData);
                clipboard.setContents(contents, this);
}
}
else ...

The code works, but it follows a very regular pattern: On every
other try the setContents operation takes about 4 seconds (on a
133MHz Pentium w/ 32M running W95).

The delay seems excessive.
