Even the simplest applet (or AWT app.) hangs the CPU and takes about 5

I run the following applet on a SunOS 5.5 sparc box and Xdisplayed
it on my SunOS 4.14 (by rlogin, that is). It seems to me that
somehow the CPU is 'looping' somewhere and it takes about 5 minutes
before the Hello World applet shows up on my screen.
It seems to me that MY cpu (the SunOs 4.14) is the one that is
being 'suffocated' and not the Solaris one.

I had successfully developed and run JDK 1.1 Beta3 programs over the
last 2 months, and this problem only appeared after I downloaded
the JDK 1.1.1 and tried to use it. (there were no environment
changes other than updating my .cshrc on the solaris machine to reflect
the fact that I am now using the 1.1.1)

Where it was neccesary, I converted my 1.1 Beta3 programs to
1.1.1 by means of the supplied updateAWT script and by following
the conversion rules specified in the documentation.

These are the lines in my .cshrc on the solaris machine that
pretains to the JDK:

setenv JAVA_HOME /export/home/dsegal/jdk1.1/jdk1.1.1
set path=($path ~dsegal/jdk1.1/jdk1.1.1/bin)

and I am not using CLASSPATH anymore.
(I also have jConnect installed (JDBC from Sybase) but that
should have nothing to do, I think, with the problem:
setenv JDBC_HOME /export/home/dsegal/jdk1.1/jConnect)

This is the java applet that takes 5 minutes to load:

import java.applet.Applet;
         import java.awt.Graphics;

                    public class HelloWorldApplet extends Applet {
                        public void paint(Graphics g) {
                            g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25);
                        }
                    }
